the production process :
The process of producing sea salt depends on four essential factors which is : (soil nature-salinity degree-temperature-wind speed).
The salt water used in the feeding process is the primary source in producing quantities of salt. The following are the stages of the production process, ending with its transportation and shipped to many and varied places of use.
Stages of production:-
1) Breeding
2) Harvest
3) Storage
4) Washing
5) Transportation and Shipping
1) Breeding:
It is divided into several steps to reach the stage of sedimentation of salt granules and crystals (Sodium Chloride) inside sedimentation basins specially prepared for this.
The breeding process begins by transporting and raising large quantities of low-salinity seawater into the company’s storage tanks in preparation for raising its salinity in order to get rid of some undesirable salts and elements. We rely on the solubility coefficient of these elements and the they are transferred to the concentration tanks, which also play the same role in raising the degree of salinity and concentration of the water so that it is ready for transport to the final stage, which is : Sedimentation basins. This process is supervised by a group of specialized chemists and technicians to obtain the highest quality and largest quantity of natural sea salt for use in many different industrial and industrial fields.
2) Harvest:
The Harvest stage is an important stage in the salt production process, as it has an important role in raising the efficiency and quality of the product. It also has a prominent role in maintaining the ponds for sedimentation and breeding by carrying out the harvest according to specific proportions and standards through specialized chemists and technicians.
Therefore, supervision must be done and completed on that stage of production because it greatly affects the above, which affects the return and economic feasibility. Therefore, the company pays very great attention to this stage of production.
3) Storage:
The storage stage within the company’s warehouses and yards is important, as we divide salt into several types according to its quality, as the physical and chemical properties of the product resulting from the harvest process differ and it is stored and separated within the company’s stores, determining their quality and type, and their use after that, in preparation for the process of marketing it as a final product or moving to the next stage (washing) to increase the quality and efficiency of the product.
4) Washing:
The washing stage is one of the important and basic stages in the salt production process. The company pays great attention to this basic stage in the production process and highlights. Its important role in the process of marketing is the product and achieving the highest wind resistance and economic quality of it. The company has its own washing factories and it is planned to reach the highest quality of the product with the least waste and the lowest cost. The company also expands at this stage and works, constantly developing 3 of its washing lines.
Transportation and shipping:
The transportation stage in the company is divided into two parts: –
Internal transportation:
The internal transport of salt takes place from inside the docks to the processing locations and washing lines, where the salt is divided according to its quality into different grades and is prepared for redistribution again, whether to the company’s own factories or the local market and for export.
External transportation:-
The company owns a group of external transport vehicles that it uses both in transporting salt to the company’s warehouses in the port in preparation for shipping it to boats in many countries, as well as in the process of transporting the product to the local market and to the food salt and petrochemical factories.
