Production of sea salt
Sodium chloride (better known as salt) abounds mostly in the ocean
water and can also be found in certain solid masses on earth or
even in certain solutions in springs or ponds.
It is a compound that, at chemical level, consists of 40% sodium and
40% chloride, serving for many uses in our current society: from
conservation, to spice up our dishes, to maintain certain devices...

common salt production systems
Generally, it is the most used method. The idea is to get fresh water (or brine
found) in order to evaporate; for this purpose, the combination of wind and
solar energy is used. When the brine found reaches a specific level, the crys-
tallization of sodium chloride will take place.
One of the peculiarities of this method is that here we find some variations like
salt flats in which fractional crystallization can be obtained, artisanal salt flats
and crystallization brines that have not been purified.

 Obtaining salt by solar evaporation
 Obtaining vacuum evaporated salt
To obtain salt in this way, an exclusive plant has been designed to perform this
type of procedure. This plant is constructed based on heat exchangers and
heat evaporators.
It is considered a very effective procedure because salt that is obtained is
very white, crystallized and with a purity exceeding 99.5%; in contrast, it is
also a more expensive procedure and, therefore, increases the price of the
final product in relation to the market.

In many countries we can find these basins that are just certain saline areas
located in specific areas; however, the problem is that they have a very low
production volume and the quality is not always high enough to be usable.
Usually, the salt that is removed is typically used for fodder salts, tannery or
local markets.
To run this type of method, an the opening of wells is done to be able to use as
much as possible the underground brines; the purpose is to find outcrops or
deposits in which salt predominates. Once they are found, pumping machines
are used to make that the brine ascends to evaporators vessels; salts will be
deposited there to get gradually the characteristic that crystallization.

 Obtaining salt in endorheic basins
Although there are other methods to obtain salt, these are common-
ly often used at present in the industry for de production of sea salt.
The purpose is to get the product of the highest quality possible, and
in abundance, getting to minimize the investment.
