oppredningsverk

English translation: concentration plant

Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
Norwegian term or phrase: oppredningsverk
"Samme år, i 1964, startet Rana Grubers oppredningsverk i Vika, samtidig med A/S Norsk Koksverk."

Unsure exactly what kind of facility this is? An iron or plant? A refinery?

Any help would be much appreciated.

mineral processing plant


Explanation:
My Ansteinsson Reiersen Norsk Engelsk Teknisk Ordbok defines oppredning as "dressing (of ore)".
Ore dressing is the same as mineral processing.
