Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a PVD salt production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Pure Vacuum Dried Salt (NaCl), also known as PVD Salt, is a food-grade salt that is produced by pumping water deep below from hard salt reserves. It is widely employed as a raw material across many industrial applications, such as agricultural chemical processing and water treatment.

It finds application in the production of chlorine and caustic soda and has use in glass, cosmetic products, and the pharmaceutical sector. Salt is heavily used in metallurgic processes. It works as a surface treatment for galvanizing, as hardening and soldering salts, and as smelting salts in foundry chemistry.

In addition, in the detergent industry, it is used as a key ingredient that offers a fiber-friendly effect and a neutral behavior for wastewater. It’s also employed in liquid soaps, detergents and rinsing agents for the regulation of viscosity. Other end-user industries in the product can be used include boron flushing solutions in the oil and gas industry, to make paints and pigments, and titanium dioxide.

The market for PVD salt is majorly driven by its demand for its use as a food additive (table salt), agricultural chemical processing, and water treatment, which contributes to the food sector, agriculture, and water treatment industries. It is also extensively used as a surface treatment for galvanizing, as hardening and soldering salts, and as smelting salts, which further propels its market expansion for the chemical and foundry industry. Moreover, it is also used as a key ingredient in detergents, liquid soaps, rinsing agents, paints, and certain other chemical compounds, which amplifies its demand for detergent, soap manufacturing, paint, and chemical industries.

As a result of the wide range of applications of this rare metal, its demand across several industries is growing. Additionally, several factors influence industrial PVD salt procurement, such as the cost and availability of its feedstock (rock salt), the market prices of PVD salt, and its distribution, which includes trading and transportation, logistics, etc.

Raw Material for PVD Salt Production

According to the PVD Salt manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for PVD Salt production include Rock Salt Deposits.

Manufacturing Process of PVD Salt

The extensive PVD Salt production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing processes:

• Production Via Brine Tank: The process starts by filling the container with water and common salt (NaCl) to create a salt solution. The flooded brine's insoluble components are pumped out and removed by a brine clarifier, leaving behind a clear brine solution that is subsequently transferred to a brine tank. The required chemicals (such as Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Hydroxide, Calcium Hydroxide) are introduced to separate the calcium and magnesium salts that are present in addition to the salt in the brine tank. After being filtered, the brine is moved to the final brine tank. Saturated brine is piped as slurry into a concentration tank after being transported from this tank to a continuous evaporation system, where it crystallizes. The salt slurry is then concentrated using a hydro-cyclone battery to a maximum of 50–60%. A centrifuge is used to create salt cakes with a moisture content of 4–5% using this slurry. The salt, which has a moisture content of 4-5%, is fed to a fluid bed dryer via a smooth conveyor, where the iodization process is completed. In the Vibro fluid bed drier, warm, ambient air fluidizes the salt before it is dried and cooled. Subsequently, the salt is fed into a sieve machine via a bucket elevator. For the final re-dissolution, the extra-large particles are collected and moved to the brine tank.

• Production Through Vacuum Pumps: This technique involves drilling the wells down to a depth of 1,000 feet to get closer to the salt deposits. The wells are then connected by the lateral drilling procedure. Water is forced down one of the wells by lateral drilling when the wells are connected, dissolving the salt in the well. After being piped through the wells, the brine from that well is surfaced through the other well and then stored in big containers. Subsequently, the brine is passed through a sequence of vacuum pumps, which heat and dry the brine at a reduced pressure, becoming PVD salt.

PVD Salt, or Pure Vacuum Dried Salt (NaCl), is a food-grade salt derived from hard salt reserves by pumping water deep underground. PVD Salt looks like a white crystalline substance in appearance. It has no odour and has a distinct salty flavour. It is a highly refined salt with a cubic crystal form and is available in a fine or coarsely fractioned form, with or without iodine. It has a high purity degree and is mainly used as a table salt in the food sector.
