100,000 T/Y NPK Compound Fertilizer Plant Cost in Algeria
On June 22, 2024, a professional inquiry arrived from an Algerian petrochemical enterprise based in Algiers, in Algeria. Mr. Karim, the project director, plans to establish an NPK compound fertilizer factory with the annual capacity of 100,000 tons using nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as raw materials. Because Algeria's warm and dry climate, limited domestic fertilizer output, and growing agricultural demand encouraged the company to invest in technologie de granulation d’engrais NPK. Thus, this transition allows the company to enhance petrochemical by-products and to penetrate national and export fertilizer markets. Given local environmental policies, he set high expectations for energy efficiency, automation, and dust control. Additionally, he wished us offering NPK granulation line specifications, detailed flow charts, layout planning, quotations and after-sales. After receiving this inquiry, our team immediately engaged in follow -up discussions to provide a customizable NPK compound fertilizer production solution.
How to plan a 100,000 T/Y Compound fertilizer production plant layout?
Firstly, Mr. Karim informed us that an existing facility of 5,000㎡ was available for fertilizer equipment installation. And, he requested a diagramme du processus de production d’engrais composé and a facility layout plan showing equipment arrangement and required space. Considering the annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of compound fertilizer, we recommended a 20 TPH rotary drum granulation line and provided the corresponding drawings. Actually, the NPK compound fertilizer pellet manufacturing process that we have proposed includes raw materials crushing, automatic batching, mixing, granulating, drying, cooling, screening, coating and packaging. Additionally, the fertilizer equipment layout is compact, adopting an U-shaped material flow design to reduce NPK handling distances. Additionally, the complete 20 t/h NPK compound fertilizer production line occupies about 3,000 square meters, including 800㎡ raw material warehouse, 1,000㎡ granulation workshop, 600㎡ drying & cooling area and 600㎡ screening & packaging section.
What machines do we recommend for 20 T/H compound fertilizer manufacturing process ?
For large-scale NPK fertilizer granulation
Since Mr. Karim demanded at least 20 tons per hour of NPK fertilizer granulation, we recommended a grand granulateur à tambour rotatif, model SXZGZ-2210. This granulator uses wet granulation, which reduces dust during the compound fertilizer manufacturing process, in accordance with environmental regulations. Additionally, rotary drum granulator is more effective and suitable for large-scale NPK fertilizer granule production. To meet the high pellet output and ensure drying capacity, we suggested purchasing two séchoirs à tambour rotatif, model SXHG-2222, significantly improving drying efficiency.
To Solve The Energy Problem
And, we have configured a complete dust elimination system, taking into account the warm and dry climate of Algeria. Although Algeria has electricity supply problems like outdated transmission lines result in occasional power shortages. Considering the total power consumption of the 20 t/h NPK fertilizer production line is approximately 400-450 kW, We offered to equip the facility with a générateur SXCF-400. Besides, given that the company operates in the exploration of oil and natural gas, we have provided natural gas burners for hot stoves. Furthermore, we recommended buying a coating machine to improve the NPK granule appearance and strength. Finally, we customized the interface of PLC control system to support both Arabic and French languages, ensuring ease of use for local staff.
How much does it cost to build a 100,000 T/y Granular compound fertilizer plant ?
After multiple discussions, the customer, Mr. Karim, decided to visit our factory on August 13, 2024. During the visit, we led a tour of our fertilizer equipment production workshop, presented factory operations and provided relevant technical documents. And, we can offer a 15 % discount about 20 t/h NPK fertilizer manufacturing plant cost, including all equipment and services. Furthermore, The basic compound fertilizer equipment list included a crusher, a mixer, drum granulator, dryers, cooler, conveyors, packaging machines, etc. The total price, after the discount, was 403,482 USD (about 53,4 million Algerian Dinar). Consequently, Mr. Karim accepted payment by L/C and paid a deposit of $161,392.80 on August 20. Then, we have completed the manufacture of the 20 t/h compound fertilizer granule production equipment within 15 working days. And on 25 september, he settled 60 % balance before shipping.

How about the transport and installation service of 20 TPH compound fertilizer production machines?
What feedback did we receive from 20 T/H Algerian NPK Fertilizer Factory?
On November 20, 2024, the 20 t/h compound fertilizer plant entered formal operation. Mr. Karim, the project director, shared his feedback:
"Yushunxin's team demonstrated professionalism throughout the NPK fertilizer manufacturing project design and execution. And, the equipment has arrived punctually, and the installation and commissioning were effective. The first batch of test granules was in accordance with international standards relating to NPK fertilizers (N ≥ 15 %, P₂O₅ ≥ 15 %, K₂O ≥ 15 %). The actual capacity has reached 21.3 tonnes per hour and dust emissions were less than 15 mg/m³.”
