Explore Purification PlantNagoya & Aichi Prefecture: The epicentre of Precision Manufacturing and Bulk Salt Purification
The Greater Nagoya metropolitan region (Chukyo Industrial Belt) generates the highest industrial shipment value across Japan. While internationally recognized for automotive engineering, aerospace, and advanced robotics, the foundation of Nagoya's manufacturing dominance is deeply reliant on heavy chemical refining, chlor-alkali synthesis, and specialized metallurgy located in coastal hubs like the Port of Nagoya, Yokkaichi, and Chita Peninsula.
Because Japan produces minimal solar rock salt domestically due to geographic and climatic constraints, maritime imports through the Port of Nagoya represent the lifeblood of regional sodium chloride supplies. Raw sea salt arriving from Australia, Mexico, and India contains fluctuating amounts of magnesium chloride (MgCl₂), calcium sulfate (gypsum, CaSO₄), insoluble mud, and micro-contaminants. To serve Nagoya's uncompromising high-purity industrial sectors—ranging from diaphragm and membrane-cell caustic soda synthesis to automotive de-icing formulation, surface treatment bath preparations, and traditional Aichi fermentation industries (miso, soy sauce)—salt must undergo mechanical counter-current washing and hydro-cyclone classification.
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Washing
Fresh industrial water costs in coastal Aichi require closed-loop brine washing circuits. Our equipment clarifies mother liquor with high-efficiency lamella thickeners, returning saturated brine back to the washing circuit with negligible water loss.
High Purity for Chlor-Alkali Units
Ion-exchange membranes in modern Japanese chlor-alkali plants degrade rapidly in the presence of trace calcium and magnesium. Our counter-current hydraulic scrubbers decrease Mg²⁺ below 0.03% and Ca²⁺ below 0.08% before chemical dosing.
Seismic & Coastal Corrosion Design
Salt processing in Ise Bay demands structural compliance with JIS earthquake resistant guidelines and C5-M marine atmospheric protection, combining titanium Grade 2, duplex 2205 contact parts with heavy epoxy coatings.
The 4-Stage Continuous Counter-Current Salt Washing Process Architecture
In standard crude salt, secondary crystallization traps magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, and clay minerals inside fissures or loosely adheres them to crystal surfaces. Traditional single-tank stir-washing causes heavy crystal breakage, creating microscopic fines that leach dissolved NaCl into the wastewater. Ruitu's multi-stage continuous counter-current washing methodology isolates impurities while preserving crystal integrity.
| Process Stage | Mechanical Unit | Target Impurity Targeted | Engineering Mechanism | Nagoya Target Performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1: Primary Slurry Wet-Milling | Double Roll Toothed Salt Crusher | Internal inclusion pockets, trapped MgCl₂ brine | Shearing rather than pulverizing to open crystal fissures without fines | Controlled particle range 1.0 - 4.5 mm |
| Stage 2: Counter-Current Agitation | Vertical Screw / Hydraulic Elutriation Washer | Surface Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, light clay solids | Ascending saturated brine washes descending salt crystals against gravity | Surface ion displacement >88% |
| Stage 3: Hydrocyclone Desanding | Polyurethane Lined Hydrocyclone Cluster | Insoluble silica, sand, gypsum crystals | Centrifugal differential settling velocity separation | Insolubles reduced below 0.02% |
| Stage 4: Continuous Centrifugation | Double-Stage Piston Pusher Centrifuge | Adherent surface moisture, residual mother brine | High G-force mechanical extraction with fresh brine cake rinse | Cake moisture < 2.5% into dryer |
By employing clean, saturated brine in counter-flow (where freshest brine contacts the cleanest salt at the final stage, and spent wash brine scrubs raw salt at the primary intake), total NaCl recovery rates exceed 97.5%. The spent brine is continuously diverted to coagulation clarifiers and microfiltration units, purging accumulated gypsum and silt without draining high-value sodium chloride down the sewer.

Engineering Questions Answered for Plant Managers & Buyers
Detailed insights on chemical performance, equipment metallurgy, logistics to Nagoya, and lifecycle operations.
How does your washing system eliminate insoluble gypsum (CaSO₄)?
Gypsum particles typically exhibit a specific gravity of 2.32 g/cm³, while NaCl crystals have a specific gravity of 2.16 g/cm³. Utilizing this specific gravity differential, our hydrocyclone desanding batteries and vertical elutriation columns maintain carefully tuned ascending fluid velocities. Light gypsum crystals are swept into the overflow weir while heavier, purified sodium chloride crystals settle into the underflow discharge for dewatering.
What metallurgical grades do you recommend for wet brine contact?
For low-temperature brine slurries (<45°C), Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 (EN 1.4462) offers exceptional resistance to chloride pitting (PREN >35) at a cost-effective price point. In elevated temperature zones such as fluid-bed dryers or acid-washed circuits, we employ Super Duplex 2507, Titanium Grade 2, or heavy-duty rotationally molded PO/PE linings to prevent stress corrosion cracking.
Can the line produce both chemical-grade and edible table salt?
Yes. Our multi-purpose washing lines can switch between operational modes. By engaging our secondary polishing rinse, clean saturated potable-grade brine replaces standard industrial wash liquor. Downstream, fluid-bed drying and iodization dosing modules ensure the finished crystalline product satisfies international and Japanese edible food quality regulations.
What is the typical shipping timeline from Weifang to the Port of Nagoya?
Once factory acceptance testing (FAT) is signed off, standard containerized skid units are hauled to Qingdao Port within 24 hours. Ocean transit from Qingdao to the Port of Nagoya requires approximately 3 to 5 calendar days on regular weekly liner schedules. Ruitu coordinates customs documentation, export packing certificates, and door-to-plant heavy transport logistics across Aichi Prefecture.
