 The SCIENCO® Brinemaker comes in two sizes, the FG Series and the P-2 Model. Both units use downflow brinemaking. Downflow brinemaking assures consistent saturation of brine as the influent water rises and the higher density brine sinks. With rock and solar salts, sludge accumulates at the bottom of the tank for easy removal. In addition, this permits the desalinization of sludge by backwash leaching. Because of these advantages, all of the SCIENCO® Brinemakers employ downflow brinemaking.

Applications - What are brinemakers used for? Brinemakers produce and store liquid brine solution that can be used as a food additive, a chemical feed for various chemical processes or an ion exchange/water softening process. Brinemakers are also used in hide processing (curing and tanning). Here's just a few of the facilities that will utilize bulk salt storage systems.
| Textile Dyers |
Laundries |
Motel/Hotel/Resorts |
| Food Processors |
Canneries |
Municipalities |
| Hide Processors |
Oil Fields |
Hospitals |
| Chemical Plants |
Colleges/Universities |

Equipment Location
The best location for the brinemakers is outdoors if possible. This will reduce salt dust in the plant and the possibility of excessive corrosion. The systems can be supplied with a heat and insulation package at the factory to prevent freezing for cold climate locations.
If the equipment is to go indoors, look at extending the Vent pipe through a wall to the outside.
The equipment should be located within 40 horizontal feet of the area where the delivery truck would unload the salt. The pneumatic trucks are equipped with an integral air handling blower and (2) 20' 4" hoses for delivering the salt. |
