Brine is the primary raw material necessary to make chlorine and caustic soda using a chlor-alkali process discovered more than 200 years ago. About 90% of the companies’ brine is used in chlor-alkali production. This brine is supplied by pipeline directly from the producing salt domes. The remainder is used in a wide range of essential U.S. industries, including refineries, power plants, aquariums, oils field services and hospital systems. This brine is supplied by truck and barge.
Depending on the customer’s needs, there are three types of brine supply: raw brine, treated brine and evaporated salt. We have multiple existing locations to supply new customers, which can be found on our asset map. We are continually looking to expand to supply new customers from new locations, please contact us with any business development inquiries.
Brine has been produced commercially using the solution mining process for more than 100 years. After a well is drilled into the salt dome, fresh water is pumped down the well. This water dissolves the underground salt until it becomes a fully saturated brine solution, which is collected at the surface.
