Upholding world-class standards during the Production Process

The Production Process currently used by Autus is best be described as slow brewing. The outcome is a product of high quality; tried and tested in the field.

A carefully selected source of coal provides the solid building block on which the process is built. During the process development and piloting phase many sources of coal were disqualified due to its poor reactivity and poor quality of the final product.

The coal is slowly oxidized to release the humic and fulvic acid in the form of oxidized humates and fulvates. The oxidized products are then put through a specialised slow brewing process.

Meticulous care is taken during the slow brewing process to ensure that temperatures are well controlled to prevent a reduction in quality of these thermally sensitive organic acids. Only high quality raw materials are used for extraction of the fulvic and humic acid.

The production team follows this very disciplined process for every batch produced – resulting in a high quality product with excellent consistency current Customers have become accustomed to this.

A fundamental understanding of how all of the above process variables impact on the quality and functionality of the Autus products was developed through process R&D over a number of years.

  • Batch preparation of the coal.
  • Oxidative Polymerization, which is the rebuilding of the humic and fulvic acid molecules, using an oxidizing agent.
  • Extraction of fulvic acid (at a low pH ) creating Autus Yellow.
  • Increasing the pH to solubilize the humic acid, which is then extracted yielding Autus Black.
  • Autus Gold is produced without removal of the fulvic acid – hence the richer blend of both fulvic and humic acid.

The products have been tested at an internationally recognised laboratory (A&L Western in California). Various tests have been conducted at a greenhouse facility in Johannesburg, South Africa (Greenhouse Trial and Research Centre). Analyses have also been conducted by SGS Agriculture Services in Somerset West, Western Cape. Registration of all products was approved by the South African Department of Agriculture on 17 November 2016.
