Abstract
Salt mostly produced in Indonesia contains about ± 80.12%
NaCl, commonly known as commercial salt. This salt is treated in order
to produce 99.87% NaCl with a very small content of impurities.
Industrial-grade salt has an important role in the industry, such as caustic
soda manufacture, soda ash, preservation, pharmaceuticals, and textiles.
Salt manufacture using vacuum pan method consists of three
stages, which is: the raw material purification, evaporation and drying,
and product controlling. Raw material purification is conducted by
dissolving 80,12% NaCl salt in the solvent tank and adding the water
process into brine solution. Pumping brine into reactor to be reacted with
Caustic soda, Barium Chloride and Soda Ash. Distributing to flocculation
tank, and further to clarifier for sludge and filtrate separation using
sedimentation method. Evaporation and drying is conducted to evaporate
the water in salt and form salt crystals. Wet salt crystals formed are dried
using rotary dryer. Product processing is carried out by crystal grinding
using crusher. Before, salt is distributed through screw conveyor and
selected using vibrating screener of 100 mesh-size screener, then stored
in the storage tank.
The production capacity of industrial salt plant is 400000 ton
/year and the raw materials needed is 58484,6054 kg/day. The factory
operates continuously for 24 hours/day, 330 days of operation/year. The
secondary materials are 856.961,9029 m3/hours water, 4742,0413
kg/hours NaOH, 4236,1201 kg/hours Na2CO3, 43070,8202 kg/hours
BaCl2, and air rate of 14631, 4 kg/hours.
