Other Details:
A plant which produces vacuum salt and mineral water together has great potential.
Packaged pure drinking water has caught the fancy of the consumers. The product has a double digit growth. With the increasing preference for health and hygiene and the realization that purity of water is key to a healthy living, the market for the product is in a high growth vortex. The supply situation of the standard product is so pathetic that at public places, even bottled tap water is going as pure drinking water. There is dearth of proper processing and packaging facilities. This indicates a huge potential for a scientific and hygienic mineral water plant. Packaged mineral water is a premium product which fetches much higher price than pure packaged drinking water.
- On the other hand, pure and iodized edible salt has already become darling of the masses. It has been patronized by rich and poor alike. Last two years has witnessed unprecedented growth in the demand of refined salt.
- It is human to seek differentiation and improvement in all aspects of life. Ordinary salt has given way to refined salt. Similarly, refined salt is bowing out in favour of vacuum salt. Consumers are already aware that vacuum salt is purest form of salt. That is why Tata vacuum salt and Nirma vacuum salt, the only two vacuum salt plants in India, are the front runners in the market. In the U.S., Europe and in all other developed countries, vacuum salt is the only type of salt which is recognized as edible grade. This is because, it is made by evaporating pure and filtered salt solution whereas a refined salt is an outcome of grinding and washing of raw solar salt by saturated brine. In the latter process, it is not possible to make salt completely free of sand, grit and other insoluble and soluble impurities. This aspect of vacuum salt is a differentiating point for the conscientious and discerning consumers.
- Presently, the availability of vacuum refined salt in India is a mere 15-20% of the total demand of edible salt. It is seen to be increasingly patronized because the price difference between vacuum and refined salt at retail level is negligible.
- The process of making vacuum salt, simultaneously generates distilled water which can be converted into mineral water. For every tonne of vacuum salt produced, nearly 2500 litres of potable mineral water is generated. So, the cost of making vacuum salt is shared also by mineral water. The two products put together make vacuum salt project, a great money spinner. This makes the payback period less than 2 years.
- This process involves continuous evaporation of salt solution by passing steam into it and condensation of vapour for recovery of useful water. For economizing the steam consumption, multiple units are used in series, so that the vapour generated from one unit, be used in the next effect for effecting the evaporation, thus eliminating the need for generation of fresh steam. This process is continued for a number effects, so that the every kg of steam generated for the first effect produces a number of kgs of vapour from the succeeding effects. Vapour from the last effect is condensed in a condenser using water from cooling tower. The entire plant is initially under vacuum, and thereafter the pressure in the entire system is thermodynamically stabilized. Vacuum is generated by using a suitable vacuum pump. The number of effects depends upon the capacity of the plant, so that optimized economy is achieved at minimum investment.
