To accurately evaluate the cost of setting up a battery precursor manufacturing plant, it's imperative to break down the expenses into key components. Here are the fundamental aspects that will determine your budget:
1. Infrastructure and Facilities
The first step involves acquiring or building the physical infrastructure for your manufacturing plant. This includes land, buildings, utilities, and various facilities required for the manufacturing process.
Our company could provide you a estimated figure of the land, waster water, power as below example table based on your production capacity.
Capacity | Power | Voltage | Gas type/flow rate | Gas pressure |
150-200tons per year | around 360KW | 220/380V | compressed air 20.2m3/min | 0.5 MPa |
Nitrogen flow rate | Pure water preparation flow rate | Waste water | Tap Water Volume | Water pressure |
spare use 40.00m3/day | 36.5m3/day | 15tons/day | 9.36 m3/h | 0.4MPa |
Ground | Floor height | Recommended Plant Dimensions | Recommended Site Dimensions | Weight |
Floor epoxy paint; electrical safety or shielding interference less than 2Ω | >10m | (The batching area + reaction area + washing area) is 10 meters high, with an area larger than 200m2. | The drying/mixing/packaging area is 10 meters high, with an area of 100m2 and a wastewater treatment area of 300m2. | ≈2050 kg/m2 |
2. Equipment and Machinery
Precursor manufacturing relies on a range of specialized equipment and machinery, such as reactors, mixers, dryers and processing units. The choice of equipment can significantly impact your upfront investment.

3. Raw Materials
This step in evaluating the cost of establishing a battery precursor manufacturing plant revolves around assessing the expenses associated with raw materials. This includes a meticulous analysis of the procurement costs for essential components such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other requisite materials, alongside an assessment of the associated market dynamics, including supply chain complexities and pricing fluctuations.
4. Labor and Skill Set
Your workforce is another vital cost component. Skilled technicians, engineers, and scientists are essential for the manufacturing process. Labor costs, including training and ongoing skill development, should be factored in.
5. Quality Control and Testing
Maintaining high-quality standards requires thorough quality control processes and testing. Investment in advanced testing equipment and skilled quality control personnel is critical.
6. Regulatory Compliance
Adherence to regulatory standards and environmental regulations is non-negotiable. Compliance involves additional costs for safety protocols, waste management, and meeting industry-specific standards.
7. Research and Development
A budget allocation for research and development is essential for continuous improvement and innovation. This enables your facility to stay competitive and adapt to evolving industry requirements.
8. Energy Costs
Energy consumption like electricity, especially in manufacturing processes, contributes to operational expenses. Implementing energy-efficient practices can help manage this cost component.
9. Waster water and materials deal
During the process of manufacturing battery precursor, either NMC precursor or sodium ion precursor, there would be mother liquid and washing water which needs be dealt with. The cost of this environment process also needs to be considered.
In conclusion, no matter in lithium-ion or sodium-ion industry, the evaluation of battery precursor manufacturing plant costs necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved in every facet of the production cycle.
