Product Recovery from SEPCON Plants

While the main application of SEPCON plants is to reduce the salt load in saline wastewaters, offsetting the treatment costs through valuable by-products recovery is a desirable outcome perceived 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 in producing a range of commercial and technical grade by-products. Examples are:

• Fertilizer 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 stabilizers for road base construction and use as dust suppressant in construction sites.
