ABOUT SALT TECHNOLOGIES

There are several Technologies for salt extraction and salt production. For explanatory purpose, lets condensate three (3) technologies:
1. Rock Salt or Mined Salt

Mined Salt or Rock Salt is obtained by extracting salt from underground salt layers or domes. The techniques used are standard mining operations, open pit mining, etc. Salt purity depends on the purity of the natural salt deposits. Mined rock salt is typically used as Industrial Salt and a Road Salt Deicer.
2. Salt Solution Mining

Solution Mining is obtained by pumping fresh water from a natural lake into underground salt deposits. By flowing the water through salt caverns, the fresh water is saturated in NaCl and is then pumped to brine deposits on the surface. The brine may then be treated with chemicals to eliminate impurities for the production of refined salt. Then, the brine is fed into multiple-effect vessels made of monel alloy where the water is evaporated by using steam and vacuum technology. The end product is crystallized salt. Because the use of steam, power and chemicals, this is the most expensive method to produce salt. A variant of this method is Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) applicable when the economical balance shows that electricity is less expensive than using steam.
3. Solar Salt
Solar Evaporation is the process of producing salt from seawater or salty brines in a series of ponds by using solar energy. The process begins by pumping seawater or salty brine into the concentration area, where the brine flows continuously through evaporator-ponds until reaching saturation. Then the saturated brine is fed into the crystallizer-ponds where the salt is deposited. The crystallized salt is then harvested, washed, stockpiled and processed. Solar salt is typically used as industrial salt, and as a raw material for chlor- alkali plants. Recently it has become more recognized as an ideal gourmet salt due to its natural flavor. Solar Evaporation is the most economical way to produce salt, however it requires acceptable weather conditions, high evaporation, low rainfall and suitable land for ponds construction with negligible or acceptable seepage.

SOLAR SALT TECHNOLOGY

Solar Salt Technology is oriented, but not limited, to the production of Salt by solar evaporation of brine containing Sodium Chloride from Sea Water, Lake Brine or Underground Brine. By-products, including potassium, magnesium, chlorides, sulfates salts, etc. could also be obtained by solar evaporation of the bitterns. Bitterns is the remaining brine after the sodium chloride has been crystallized. Solar salt production requires flat impermeable areas for the construction of the solar ponds. In areas with more than normal acceptable seepage, lining could be used. High evaporation and low rainfall are the ideal weather conditions.
Solar Salt Process Description

The Sea Water or Brine is fed and continuously concentrated in a series of solar evaporation ponds until it reaches the Sodium Chloride saturation point. Some small amounts of iron and carbonate salt crystallizes in the concentration area between 3.5 to 16 Be. The major amount of Calcium Sulfate crystallizes between 13 to 23.5 Be. The remaining small amount of Calcium Sulfate is deposited in the crystallizers as impurities of the Sodium Chloride. A natural ecological system is developed in the ponds and varies as a function of the density. The ecosystem consists of fish, crustaceans, sea grass, seaweed, brine shrimp, brine fly, micro-algae, bacteria, protozoa, halophilic bacteria, etc. The natural mat of organic material, built on the floor, helps in reducing seepage. The saturated brine from the concentration area is transferred to the pre-crystallizers, pickle pond, to feed the crystallizers where 4 to 6 inches per year of salt is crystallized. Each crystallizer is drained and harvested once or twice per year. The salt is harvested and transported to the Washing Plant. The Washing Operation consists of using controlled saturated brine with low content impurities to remove the superficial impurities of the salt. A crushing operation could be added in order to expose internal impurities to washing, if coarse salt is not required. The impurities removed are insoluble, calcium, magnesium, sulfate and organic. The washed salt is stockpiled for further processing and/or shipping. The salt is processed on site or shipped by truck, rail and/or vessel to its final destination.
Solar Salt Technology

Solar technology applies the required techniques for designing the correct ratio of areas required as Concentrators and Crystallizers for obtaining high productivity of saturated brine, high productivity of salt and salt quality. Solar technology aids in reducing the production cost and increasing production and salt quality. Lower production cost and higher salt quality are those elements needed to aggressively compete in the salt market.

RR 3 - 79 Maple Road, Dalton, PA 18414 USA High salt productivity and salt quality from the solar salt operation is obtained by implementing an efficient brine management to optimize saturated brine production from the concentration area and optimize salt production in the crystallization area. The quality of the solar salt is defined by content of sodium chloride, production of premium coarse salt and salt whiteness. An efficient brine management in concentrators and crystallizers and an effective washing operation generates the production of high quality salt. Solar Salt competes with mine salt and evaporated salt. It has been demonstrated that a solar salt operation can produce the various types of salt that mines and/or evaporated plants can supply with the added advantage of a low production costs.
Bitterns and By-Products

The remaining brine discharged from the crystallizers is called bitterns. Normally the bitterns contain salts of potassium, magnesium, bromine, sulfates, chlorides, etc. By using solar evaporation techniques and process, by-products-salts are crystallized by fractional crystallization, mixing of brines, salt leaching, solar re-crystallization, etc. These operations are much less expensive than the conventional methods to produce, say potassium sulfate and/or potassium chloride. If a market is available, some by-products could be also economically recovered.

SALT EXPERIENCE BESIDES SOLAR SALT TECHNOLOGY
As a Production Manager of ESSA Mexico, I was involved in several aspects of the salt Industry, such as logistic, maintenance, salt transportation, assisting sales and marketing efforts, technical visitation of clients plants, administrative duties, etc. as well as understanding and studying the Japanese and USA market, salt distribution, visiting and understanding competitor operation and processes in Australia, USA and other countries. As a Project Manager of the Engineering Department of Akzo Nobel Salt USA, we provided engineering and technology to all the mines, vacuum salt refineries, and salt distribution centers (salt processing and packaging plants). As a chemical engineer and as a manager I was involved in almost all the projects and supporting all the operations, mainly the vacuum salt refineries and the salt distribution centers. Applying technology as part of the Engineering Department of Akzo Nobel Salt I developed a mass and energy balance program for calculating performance of the vacuum salt plants. I was also a member of the International Research and Development department of Akzo Nobel Salt where we share the technology of Akzo Salt Europe (Vacuum Systems) and USA. As part of R & D, we conducted several research projects in the Vacuum salt plants. I was one of the engineers of Akzo Nobel Salt - USA selected for working in a multi million tons of salt vacuum plant project in USA, the largest in the world, known as the Mega Plant. After the merger of Diamond Crystal, the approval of the Mega Plant project (never build) and the reorganization of Akzo integrating Diamond Crystal, I became assistants of the Production VP as a Solar Salt Technology Manager attending also special projects. As a Solar Salt Technology Manager I worked for Akzo Nobel Salt - USA and Akzo Nobel Salt - Netherlands in different countries but I was also involved in budgeting and investments in Akzo Nobel USA, so I finished working directly with the Vacuum Salt Refineries. One of my initiatives was a project for a Computerized Monitoring System (CMS) with Statistical Processing Control (SPC) for Akzos Vacuum salt refineries, which was approved and funded. Before the selling of Akzo Nobel Salt to Cargill, I led and managed the installation of two CMS in two of the Vacuum Salt Refineries, one in Watkins Glen and the other one in Ohio.
Jan-2008

Upon leaving Akzo Nobel Salt to work as industry consultants, our group was contracted to design and install a new vacuum salt refinery in New York State for a Salt company based in Houston, Texas. The project consisted in extracting salt by solution mining, re-crystallize the salt by Vacuum or MVR and then classifying, packaging, etc. and create a gas deposit for third party. As consultants we performed the engineering and the design of the new refinery, unfortunately the salt refinery was never built. As a Salt Industry Consultant, I maintained strategic alliances with resources for the various disciplines required for the Salt Industry Projects which include chemical, mechanical, electrical, mining and civil engineers. In addition to being able to call on them for specialized details, they can be called upon as a team for complete projects such as the design and engineering of a new salt refinery. I also have connections with vendors for getting the required machinery and service estimates for economic and business decisions. In conclusion we are in the position of offering our services to assist clients in the various phases and types of salt project. I do consider myself highly knowledgeable of the overall technical and business aspects required for the planning and management of the various types of salt operations.
