INDUSTRIAL GRADE
SALT
Washed salt, or industrial salt, is salt that has been processed to remove impurities like dirt, clay, and excess minerals that may be present after harvesting or mining. This high-purity salt is primarily used in industrial settings where cleanliness and quality are essential. Industrial salt, a category distinct from culinary or direct human use, is vital to several industries, including chemical production, water treatment, de-icing, and more. With our ….capacity washing plant, eagle salt offers the ideal product for industries. Our industrial salt is ideal for:
INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
De-icing and Roda
Maintenance Salt
One of the most common uses of industrial salt is for de-icing roads and highways in cold climates. The salt lowers the freezing point of water, helping to prevent ice formation and making roads safer for driving.
Other Chemicals
Industrial salt is used in the production of hydrochloric acid, sodium sulfate, and other important chemicals.
Soda Ash Production
Salt is used to produce soda ash (sodium carbonate), which is essential in glass manufacturing, detergents, and chemical processes.
Water Softening
Industrial salt is widely used in water softening systems to regenerate ion exchange resins, which remove calcium and magnesium ions from water, preventing scale buildup in pipes and machinery.
Disinfection
Salt is a precursor in the production of chlorine, which is used for disinfecting drinking water and treating wastewater
Textile Industry
The textile industry uses washed salt in dyeing processes, where it helps to fix colors in fabrics. The purity of the salt ensures that the dyeing process is not adversely affected by unwanted minerals.
Pharmaceuticals
While more highly purified salts are typically used in pharmaceuticals, washed salt may be used in some lower-grade applications or as an intermediate in the production process.
Chlor-Alkali Production
Industrial salt is a key raw material in the production of chlorine, caustic soda (sodium hydroxide), and hydrogen through electrolysis. This process is fundamental to the manufacture of many other chemicals.
Soda Ash Production
Salt is used to produce soda ash (sodium carbonate), which is essential in glass manufacturing, detergents, and chemical processes.
Oil and Gas Industry:
Drilling Fluids
Salt is a crucial component of drilling fluids used in the oil and gas industry. These fluids help cool the drill bit, lubricate the drilling process, and stabilize the wellbore.
Petrochemical Production
Industrial salt is used in the production of various petrochemical products, contributing to processes that require consistent quality and purity.
