The utilization of natural salt resources depends upon the geological
characteristics, the requirements of the end-users and economical aspects.
These considerations are decisive in the selection of the most suitable
technology to satisfy the quality requirements for vacuum salt.
GEA
Messo AG has supplied more than 100 plants and is world leader for mechanical
vapour recompression technology and combined sodium chloride / sodium sulphate
plants. The extensive know how that has been gained in realizing these plants
gives GEA Messo AG the depth of experience needed to design new salt plants
which are tailored to the clients exact requirements and which minimise
investment and operating costs.
GEA Messo AG is known worldwide for the
designing and supplying of vacuum salt plants which match the individual
requirements of table salt as well as for producing high grade vacuum salt,
suitable for chloralkali electrolysis plants.
GEA Messo AG is supplier
of:
- Technologies and plants for chemical brine purification (various processes)
- Vacuum salt plants using raw brine by ESCHER WYSS technology for gypsum
slurry operation (multiple effect, thermal- and mechanical vapour
recompression).
- Vacuum salt plants using purified brine for high grade salt 99.99% NaCl
(multiple effect, thermal- and mechanical vapour recompression).
- Combined sodium chloride / sodium sulphate plants developed by GEA Messo AG
with recovery of sodium sulphate by the technology utilizing high / low
temperature circuit for high purity requirements
- Recrystallization plants for rock salt and raw salt from solar ponds
suitable for human consumption and industrial use
Complete vacuum salt plants with brine purification, storage and bagging
facilities, logistical equipment
The most common crystallizer type used for
salt is the Forced Circulation Crystallizer (FC- type). GEA Messo AG has
extensive know how and experience in designing the components in special
material of construction like monel, titanium, special alloys and stainless
steel.
