The capital cost of setting up a chrome ore beneficiation plant depends on several factors, including:
1. Plant Capacity (tons per day or year)
2. Location (land cost, infrastructure, logistics)
3. Technology & Equipment (crushing, grinding, gravity separation, flotation, etc.)
4. Ore Characteristics (grade, mineralogy, hardness)
5. Regulatory & Environmental Compliance
6. Labor & Operational Costs
Estimated Capital Cost Range:
– Small-scale plant (10–50 TPD): $500,000 – $2 million
– Medium-scale plant (100–500 TPD): $2 million – $10 million
– Large-scale plant (1,000+ TPD): $10 million – $50 million+
Key Cost Components:
✔ Land & Civil Works (~10–20%)
✔ Machinery & Equipment (~40–60%)
✔ Infrastructure (Power, Water) (~10–15%)
✔ Labor & Installation (~10–20%)
✔ Permits & Compliance (~5–10%)
Additional Considerations:
– A feasibility study is recommended before investment.
– Operating costs (electricity, chemicals, maintenance) also impact profitability.
