SERRA INSTALLS TWO SALT WASHING LINES IN GHANA

In one of its most ambitious projects in West Africa, Serra successfully completed the redesign and engineering of a full-scale solar saltworks and installed two high-capacity salt washing lines in Ghana. Each washing line has a capacity of 100 tons per hour, making this one of the most productive salt processing sites in the region.

Salt Works Design

Serra was involved from the early stages of the project, taking charge of the redesign of the saltworks. Key environmental and geological factors such as land surface, soil permeability, climatic patterns, and biological influences were carefully analyzed. The saltworks were engineered to optimize solar evaporation and natural fractional crystallization, allowing for the efficient separation of salts and achieving high-purity NaCl in the crystallizer ponds.

Salt Washing Lines

Following the harvesting of raw salt, Serra installed two advanced washing lines, each capable of processing 100 tons per hour. The washing process is based on Serra’s proprietary countercurrent system, using a combination of brine and salt flow in specially designed screws. This method ensures effective removal of both soluble and insoluble impurities through suspension and dissolution, resulting in top-quality washed salt suitable for food-grade and industrial applications.
