Sodium chloride salt is produced directly from raw seawater through a state-of-the-art technology called Electro Dialysis, which is a membrane process. The material is then subjected to further evaporation/crystallization processes.
Sodium chloride is the main raw material for the manufacture of the Chlor-Alkali products, and Al-Kout is home to a facility that produces iodized grade salt for the food industry. The purity of Al-Kout’s salt is extremely high, making it a preferred source for the food industry. Al-Kout’s food grade quality and industrial-utility materials are delivered to customers in bulk.
Food production today is complex. It requires detailed control of plant operations – from the reception and processing of raw materials to the packaging and distribution of finished products. So how do you achieve total control and top performance amid all this complexity? The answer is surprisingly simple – with automation and information solutions.
