Method and apparatus for coating fertilizer in pellet or other form to impart time-release characteristics and the resulting coated pellet product. The polyurethane coating encapsulates fertilizer particles, forming a hydrophobic coating for slow-release qualities. The urethane polymer coating is formulated with an isocyanate and a combined fluid of a polyether polyol, a methyl ester derivative of plant or vegetable oil, a T-12 curing catalyst, barium sulfate, and an oil-based dye. The barium sulfate imparts physical strength to and enhances color quality of the polyurethane coating, and acts as a detackifier and maintains temperature in the coating reactor. The inventive formulation is effective in the practical polymer coating of sulfate-based or other fertilizer pellets in an inventive time-release fertilizer product. An apparatus is provided for carrying out the coating process.

The invention is directed to manufacture of fertilizer having commercial levels of nitrogen supplemented with organic substances. The process treats organic matter with acid causing hydrolysis of organic polymers after which the mix is injected with nitrogen. The resultant sterilized and liquefied organic matter is disbursed over recycled material for the production of granules. Because the process allows for the controlled addition of acids and ammonia, desired levels of components can be achieved. The process is scalable, odor controlled and safe thereby allowing for the location of biosolid processing facilities in most any location. Further, the fertilizer of the invention provides a dual nitrogen-release profile when applied to crops. After application to soil, fertilizer of the invention releases an immediate bolus of nitrogen, similar to traditional ammonium sulfate, followed by continued slow release of nitrogen typically over a season.
