Product Recovery from SEPCON plants
While the main purpose of SEPCON plants is to reduce the salt load of saline effluents and satisfy solids disposal requirements, it is the treatment cost offset through recovery of valuable and operational improvements that is also highly appreciated by our clients. Salt and chemical compounds generated by SEPCON plants are diverse in type, application and value, primarily reflecting the chemical composition of the saline feed. Independent market studies have confirmed the capability of SEPCON of producing a range of commercial and technical grade products. Examples are:
- Fertiliser quality salts and soil conditioners.
- Flocculating agents for water/wastewater treatment.
- High grade sodium chloride salt for food, chlor-alkali and other industrial applications.
- Supplements for animal dietary needs.
- Specialty chemicals for pharmaceutical use.
- Feedstock for magnesia and magnesium metal manufacturing.
- Fillers for paper, paint, dye and PVC manufacturing.
- Feedstock for manufacture of light-weight, fire retardant and waterproof building material.
- Feedstock for manufacture of eco-sealants for reduction of seepage from water channels, ponds and landfills.
- Premium stabilisers for road base construction and dust suppressants in construction sites.
