Notes From A Native Son of Rock: Morris Right On! Youth, We had Salt Pans at Five Islands.
Quote:

What happens to the salt?The desalination plant typically uses three kilograms of seawater to produce 1 kilogram of fresh water. The extracted salt dissolves in the excess sea water used in the process to form so-called brine. The brine is returned to the sea where it is diluted again in its natural medium.
Can salt be recovered?The usual desalination processes do not provide for such recovery. Whereas they concentrate seawater 1.5 times, recovery of salt would require seawater to be concentrated ten times. Under such conditions the first crystals would appear in the brine. This would require a lot of energy and cannot be justified on an economic standpoint. Today whenever a large surface area is available close to a sunny seashore, salt pans, which make use of solar energy, are still the best method of salt production.

Is there any viable commercial plan(s) for the salt after extraction? Could be a source of revenue. Hint hint hint.

is it true that a former minister owns a reverse osmosis plant in antigua?

**Steadyj** » 2011-12-01 11:55

That's great, but how much electricity the plant is going to need to produce 600,000 gallons per day? It's a good thing that there will be another source for water, but I have to question the efficiency. Wind energy is most efficient way to operate reverse Osmosis plants, as they have an insatiable appetite for electricity. And that is a fact.
