Industrial Applications
Brine (solubilized salt) is primarily utilized to regenerate the exchange sites of resin beds for water softening, where sodium ions replace calcium and magnesium ions.
Oilfield Applications
As a heavy fluid with a density of 10.0 lbs/gal, brine can provide the hydrostatic pressure to overcome borehole pressures.
Advantages
Using brine instead of raw salt provides the user with numerous benefits:
- No disposal of insolubles
- Reduced risk of injury caused by hauling, lifting and handling salt.
- Eliminates salt dust problems
- Reduces required manpower
- Extends pump life
- Dependable convenient supply
