[edit] Connection with prilling towers

Prilling tower redirects here, and evidently refers to a current method of forming fertilizer, yet here nothing is mentioned of this. What to do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.189.108.27 (talk)

Good question! Might want to ask User:The Anome, as he was the one who created the redirect. DMacks 06:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
The two are somewhat related, and perhaps shot towers could be considered a type of prilling tower. However, I think prill manufacturing should have an article to itself, as it is a more advanced and modern technique. In addition to free falling down a tower, prills can also be formed by dropping the molten product through liquid nitrogen, which doesn't require a "tower" at all. In fact, a type of ice cream, Dippin'_Dots, is made in this exact manner. So I say it should not redirect here, nor should this article be modified to go into prill manufacturing. --Dan East 11:29, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
