Could any colleague provide a budget for the equipment needed to produce heavy soda ash?

This post was last edited by mkp369 on 2013-3-31 07:16. Heavy soda ash: Soda ash dense. Properties: White, granular; soluble in water. Its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline, and it forms hydrates when mixed with water. Molecular formula: Na2CO3. Uses: Mainly used in industries such as glass, metallurgy, petrochemicals, textiles, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibers, fertilizers, papermaking, and food processing. Execution standard: GB201 – Production of 300,000 tons of heavy soda ash per year. Investment budget: Total investment amounting to 404,772,500 RMB, of which 64,086,800 RMB is for construction work, 40,935,000 RMB for installation work, 224,440,300 RMB for the purchase of equipment and tools, 19,656,000 RMB as working capital, and 404,772,500 RMB as funds sourced from external sources. Economic benefit forecast: Annual operating revenue of 472.5 million RMB, annual operating profit of 107.9752 million RMB, net present value (NPV) of 129.0568 million RMB, internal rate of return (IRR) of 18.57%, and investment payback period of 7 years.

Could you please inform me of the production scale of heavy alkalis? This information can be used to calculate the cost of the equipment needed for its production

Thank you for the help from above. I also want to know whether the above investments include those in light soda ash as well. We currently have 300,000 tons of light soda ash, and we plan to invest in 100,000 tons of low-salt heavy soda ash. I don’t know how much was invested. Please let me know. Thank you

It depends on the quality of the light alkali and the quality requirements for the heavy alkali. There are various methods to convert light alkalis into heavy alkalis, which can be broadly classified into three categories: solid-phase hydration, liquid-phase hydration, and extrusion. Additionally, the choice of different key equipment also has a significant impact on investment. For the drying of sodium carbonate monohydrate by hydration, both fluidized bed and rotary kiln can be used, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For soda ash manufacturers whose raw material soda ash is of poor quality, to produce high-quality low-salt heavy soda ash, a liquid-phase hydration and fluidized bed drying process can be employed; the investment required for a capacity of 100,000 tons is estimated to be around 35 million yuan.

Could those upstairs please provide a detailed budget breakdown as far as you know? Thank you first! ! !

Those days of high profits are gone forever; I really miss those years of production.

For 200,000 tons of heavy ash, liquid-phase hydration is sufficient; the cost would be just over 20 million. Building a facility capable of producing 100,000 tons of heavy ash isn’t very cost-effective!
