The available information lists 1 patent associated with her.

Latest Patents

Tresch’s listed patent, “Method for Obtaining a Urea-Based Fertilizer Composition Comprising a (Thio)Phosphoric Acid Triamide Urease Inhibitor via Providing a Liquid or Solid Premix with Specific Weight Ratios,” describes a process for producing fertilizer granules that combine a urea-containing fertilizer with a (thio)phosphoric acid triamide.

The method begins by preparing a solid or liquid premix containing the fertilizer and inhibitor within specified weight ratios. It sets conditions for the premix, including limits on melting and on the use of certain low-boiling solvents. The premix is then added to a urea-containing fertilizer melt, and the mixture’s residence time is controlled to prevent or minimize decomposition of the inhibitor before the mixture is formed into solid granules.

Career Highlights

The patent record connects Tresch’s work with BASF SE and identifies Limburgerhof as her location. Her listed invention focuses on a practical manufacturing challenge: incorporating a urease inhibitor into urea-based fertilizer while preserving the inhibitor through processing and granulation.
