Saturated brine used in processing of cow hides presented challenges for one of the world's largest beef processors. Learn how they solved their issue. 

Cow hides from the processing plant are cured in saturated brine to preserve them for shipping to tanneries. During the curing process, water from the cow hides dilutes the saturated brine, leading to excess volume of liquid in the curing facility. In order to maintain the solution balance, excess brine must be bled from the curing circuit. Treating the excess brine in the plant’s water treatment facility does not remove the chloride from the water, and discharging it into the waterway has negative effects on the aquatic life. The objective of the Salt Save Plant is to recover the salt from the excess brine for reuse, thereby avoiding its disposal into the river.
