Why use Anti-seepage geomembrane in salt production?
Solar salting involves evaporating water from brine to extract salt. This process requires placing saltwater in shallow pans, allowing the sun to evaporate the water and leaving the salt behind. Yet, if the soil lacks impermeability, water might seep through, diluting the brine and diminishing the salt concentration, thereby impacting both yield and quality. To solve this problem, Salt Field ...
