They really need a native english speaker to vet their articles. I can’t figure out what this is saying half the time.

So, class — procrastinating can really blow up on you.

“A prill is a small aggregate or globule of a material, most often a dry sphere, formed from a melted liquid. Prilled is a term used in mining and manufacturing to refer to a product that has been pelletized. The pellets are a neater, simpler form for handling, with reduced dust.
“The material to be prilled must be in a solid state at room temperature and a low-viscosity liquid when melted. Prills are formed by allowing drops of the melted prill substance to congeal or freeze in mid-air after being dripped from the top of a tall prilling tower. Certain agrochemicals such as urea are often supplied in prilled form.
“Fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, urea, NPK fertilizer) and some detergent powders are commonly manufactured as prills”

Urea is also a decent Grade B explosive when crystallized and washed. Burn rate below military grade, but still ok for IEDs. (DEF used in modern diesel systems is urea.)

They could have mixed the ammonium nitrate with lime and sold it as fertilizer.........🤑

It’s pretty obvious that the ship was used in the Hezbollah bomb supply chain. You could make tens of thousands of IEDs from such a supply. Bibi alleged they were doing just that at this location.

Its a great nitrogen fertilizer. They could have spread it around Lebanon and greened the place up.

Ahh...someone else has had to read Indian code. Brevity is not a watchword.
Used to have to read COBOL in French and that was easy by comparison.

Robust porous prill?
I bought one of those once off Amazon. It was made in china and was a piece of crap. It wasn’t robust at all, but it was porous. It was one of the most porous prills I’d ever seen.
