Our salt begins as ancient rock salt 1,000 meter underground.  Advanced solution mining technology brings this to the surface as raw brine.

This process forms Cavens that after the brine is extracted is used for the energy storage as part of advanced renewable energy system carbon reduction systems.

 


Brine Preparation

  • Raw brine (underground brine) is collected.
  • Impurities are removed through filtration and precipitation.


Evaporation

  • Preheated brine is transferred into a vacuum evaporator.
  • Under reduced pressure, water evaporates at a lower temperature, increasing salt concentration.


Crystallization

  • The supersaturated brine forms salt crystals.
  • Continuous agitation ensures uniform crystal formation.


Separation & Washing

  • Salt is separated from the remaining brine.
  • The salt is washed to remove residual impurities.


Drying & Packaging

  • The washed salt is dried using hot air.
  • Final screening and packaging for distribution to our customers.
