Salt Fields

As we know, that salt comes from seawater. But not just become salt, of course there is a process to be a salt that can be consumed, both in Traditional way, and in modereren. even now there is a method of new methods that have been examined by experts, so that salt can be in production by using simple methods and not spend a considerable amount of funds.

This is the method that is now being developed in my area, namely the Tunnel method. Methods that use black tarpaulin and use a cover like a half-tunnel as a salt production medium. This method is considered environmentally friendly and does not spend much money during the production period, because it uses wind aid as an aid at the time of evaporation of water content in sea water solution.

Before the seawater is loaded into a tunnel-like drying medium, first the sea water is set aside for a few days to reduce fresh water content in seawater about two or three days to evaporate moisture content. as in the picture above, sea water in let stand a few days.

After a few days, then the water is put into the drying medium that is like the tunnel, and there it takes 10 to 15 days to become salt ready for harvest. You can see below.

This method is very good, because when the evaporation of water content, assisted by wind power that blows. so the water vapor that occurs due to evaporation does not stick to the top of the drying medium that makes salt quicker to harvest. Total Overall from entering sea water to salt takes 15 days, with maximum salt harvest in one month is twice a month. with an estimated total harvest of 12 tons per month with more than one hectare of land.

Finish my review on how to produce salt by using the Tunnel method without using huge funds in producing salt. Thank you..
