Tricalcium Phosphate Production Costs - Q2 2023
Tricalcium Phosphate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Tricalcium Phosphate (a.k.a. TCP, Tribasic Calcium Phosphate, Bone Phosphate of Lime) is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid. It appears as a white crystalline powder, insoluble in water and organic solvents, but soluble in hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. TCP is produced commercially by treating hydroxyapatite with phosphoric acid and slaked lime, or heating a mixture of a calcium pyrophosphate and calcium carbonate. TCP is used in powdered spices as an anticaking agent, in baby powder, and as a nutritional supplement.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Tricalcium Phosphate production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Tricalcium Phosphate Production
This report presents the economics of Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP) from phosphate rock, phosphoric acid, and soda ash in the United States, via a typical calcination process. In the process examined, phosphate rock is mixed with soda ash and sent to grinding and pelletization. Phosphoric acid is added and the product is calcinated, producing TCP.

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate Production
This report presents the economics of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) production from ammonia, nitric acid, and lime meal in the United States, via a typical neutralization under pressure process. In this process, nitric acid is neutralized with ammonia producing ammonium nitrate. Lime meal is added in the granulation step for CAN production.
Details: 600 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $999 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report CAN E11A target a 600 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
NPK Fertilizer Production (Phosphonitric Process)
This report presents the economics of a typical phosphonitric process for NPK Fertilizer production in the United States from rock phosphate, phosphoric acid, ammonia, and nitric acid. Initially, rock phosphate is digested with nitric acid and phosphoric acid. The NP solution generated is then neutralized with gaseous ammonia. To produce NPK potassium chloride or sulfate is finally admixed. The product formulation is 15-15-15 (15% N, 15% P2O5, 15% K2O).
Details: 300 kta United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 107 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report NPK E11A target a 300 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
