SALT INNOVATION HUB

Our Salt Innovation Hub is the first center in the industry dedicated to redefining the future of salt through decades of expertise, a scientific approach, and continuous innovation. It was established to explore the full potential of this essential mineral and the many ways it can impact and improve our daily lives.

The Salt Innovation Hub aims to create a lasting impact on the global salt ecosystem. Our current projects include:

SIH DB (Database): Development of a global database on commercial salt, providing companies and professionals with reliable, data-driven insights to support optimal decision-making.
SCS (Solar Chemical Salt): Design of an integrated salt purification process within traditional production systems, reducing divalent ion impurities to produce high-purity salt for the chemical industry.
MFS (Microplastics Free Salt): Creation of purification methods to eliminate microplastics from salt, ensuring superior safety and quality for food applications.
DBR (Desalination Brine Recovery): Recovery and enhancement of brines from desalination through advanced purification processes, enabling their reuse in the chemical industry.

…and many more initiatives focused on driving innovation and sustainability in the salt sector.
