SALT MAKING TOOL USING COCONUT COARSE ROPE

Abstract

This invention relates to a salt-making device that flows seawater through a series of ropes made of coconut fiber. There are three stages in making salt with ropes made of coconut fiber, namely preparation, evaporation and crystallization. The preparation stage is to flow seawater (1) into three storage tanks, where the first tank functions for aeration (2), the second tank for sedimentation (3) and the third tank for filtration (4). After going through this preparation stage, the next stage is the evaporation stage, where seawater is flowed into an evaporation tower (5) equipped with ropes (6) made of coconut fiber arranged from top to bottom. Due to the force of gravity, seawater (1) will fall down through the rope and will experience evaporation. The final stage of this device is salt crystallization.The process in this invention will produce salt faster, cleaner, and of higher quality due to its higher NaCl content and freedom from micro-contaminants compared to conventional methods. This invention will also reduce production costs and land area by approximately one-tenth compared to conventional methods for producing the same mass of salt.

Description

SALT MAKING TOOL USING COCONUT COARSE ROPE Invention Engineering Field This invention relates to increasing productivity and the quality of salt production from sea water using rope made from coconut fiber. More specifically with rope made from coconut fiber will speed up the process evaporation of sea water so that salt crystallization will increase fast too. Background of the Invention Current conventional salt making methods are evaporation, geomembrane, valve and prism house methods. Based on these conventional methods, there are deficiencies in the quality of the salt produced, including The NaCl content is relatively low and there are several micro pollutants contained therein. Therefore with these conventional methods, the quality of the salt is not yet meet the standards required by the industry. For this reason, it is necessary a new method was developed that can produce salt that higher NaCl content and free from contaminants micro in it. Because in general salt makers is an MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) then the new method what will be developed in this innovation must be cheap, simple and environmentally friendly. In addition, this innovation must also not requires more land to produce salt with the same amount. In other words, the salt making tool This innovation is cheap, simple, environmentally friendly and does not requires a large area of ​​land. The salt making in this innovation uses a series of ropes that form a net made from coconut fiber. As is known, coconut trees are relatively abundant in the area. beach, so ropes from coconut fiber will also be easy held by salt farmers in Indonesia. Because of the fiber Coconuts are generally not used, so ropes are made from them. coconut fiber is relatively cheap and very affordable for salt farmers. Salt making tool using rope made from coconut fiber There are three stages, namely the preparation stage, the evaporation stage and crystallization stage. In the preparation stage, seawater undergoes three processes, namely aeration, sedimentation and filtration, where each of these processes occurs in a different tank. The purpose of this stage is to remove contaminants that contained in seawater before entering the evaporation stage. The stage This preparation will determine the quality of the salt that will be produced. produced in the evaporation process. In the evaporation stage, water The sea is channeled to the tower which contains a network rope made from coconut fiber. The main function of the rope This coconut fiber not only slows down the process of water falling then downwards, also to increase the surface area of ​​displacement the heat of sea water so that evaporation can take place more quickly fast. The evaporation process can be done using one tower where seawater is recirculated repeatedly or towers arranged in series, where evaporation takes place on the l-th tower, 2nd tower and n-th tower. Dimensions and the number of towers used depends on the capacity desired salt production. After going through the stages evaporation, the final stage is the salt formation stage or crystallization. The salt that is formed will be collected and ready to be harvested. This invention is similar to the United States (USA) patent. with Patent Number US 10,369,494 B2 issued in August 6, 2019, with the title: Salt Production Automation System Utilizing Three-Dimensionally Structured Evaporation Fields. The main difference between this invention and the Patent US 10,369,494 B2 is strap material and strap configuration. On US Patent 10,369,494 B2 does not mention the rope material used, while in this invention the rope material is made of coconut fiber. The reason why rope is made from coconut fiber is not only easy and cheap to get in Indonesia, but also Coconut fiber will hold back sea water falling from above longer down. The slow rate at which the water falls down will enhance the evaporation process. In US Patent 10,369,494 B2, rope configuration arranged using plastic molding to separate the ropes that make up the net. Meanwhile, This invention has two rope configurations, namely a series diamond shaped without plastic molding and assembly using plastic molding with a different shape US Patent 10,369,494 B2. The purpose of this configuration is to extend the path of sea water before it falls down (container). Thermodynamically, the longer the contact between sea ​​and air environment, the faster the process evaporation of sea water. Brief Description of the Invention The object of the present invention is to provide a means making salt using rope made from coir head. In addition to requiring much less land, the invention This will also produce salt faster and cheaper. in operational costs. The tool in this invention will also produce higher quality salt, namely by higher NaCl content and free from contaminants micro. The above objectives are achieved with a salt making tool. using a rope in accordance with the present invention which comprises: - three tanks, namely aeration tanks (2), tanks sedimentation (3), and filtration tank (4), as seawater treatment before being channeled to the evaporation tower (5) which contains a rope (6): - pipe (7) that flows sea water back to the top of the tower to be passed back over the rope (6): - crystallization site (10) salt: —- one (8) or two (9) additional vaporizer towers, depending on the amount of salt to be produced, which is characterized by a series of ropes made of coir coconuts hanging in the tower. To maximize evaporation, the shape of the configuration diamond-shaped rope using either plastic molding or without plastic molding. Short Description of Image To facilitate understanding of the essence of this invention, then the embodiment of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying figure, where: Figure 1 is a schematic view of the manufacturing tool. salt using coconut fiber rope according to the invention This. Figure 2(a) is a schematic view of the configuration. a series of diamond-shaped ropes without using plastic molding, while Figure 2(b) is a schematic view rope configuration separated by plastic molding, on salt making apparatus according to the present invention. Complete Description of the Invention The main principle of making salt from sea water is evaporate the sea water so that crystallization occurs Salt. The process of seawater evaporation is greatly influenced by sunlight. the sun and the speed of the wind that hits the sea water. The hot sun and high wind speeds will accelerate the process of seawater evaporation. Several methods have been developed to produce salt from water. In Indonesia itself currently knows that there are at least four methods in making salt from sea water, namely evaporation, geomembrane, valve and prism housing. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but the main disadvantages of the four This method means that the salt produced still has the NaCl content is relatively low and still contains micro-contaminants, so it does not meet industry standards. To reduce this deficiency, a new method was developed, namely using rope that forms a certain configuration which is made of hair fiber which is hung on a tower. Sea water inserted through the top of the tower to flow through the rope before it falls into the container located in the section base of the tower (container). During the journey from top to bottom In this case, sea water will evaporate more quickly when compared to with other conventional methods. Due to the evaporation of water The sea on the rope is moving fast, so to produce salt in the same mass amount, this method requires much smaller land area compared to the method conventional. To produce quality salt, namely high NaCl content and free from micro contaminants, The use of this tool is equipped with three tanks for treat seawater first before evaporating it on the rope contained in the evaporator tower. Referring to Figure 1, which shows the image schematic of a salt making tool using rope (6) arranged in such a way that it is placed in the evaporation tower (5). Before being fed into the evaporation tower (5), the seawater (1) is processed. in three tanks, where the first tank (2) is sea water aeration, in the second tank (3) sedimentation is carried out so that contaminants settle at the bottom of the tank, and the third tank (4) seawater undergoes filtration to remove contaminants micro. Referring to Figure 2, which shows the image schematic configuration of the string circuit (6), which is in the form of diamonds without plastic molding and those that use plastic molding. The purpose of this configuration is to maximize the evaporation process of sea water passing through the rope. After going through the preparation stage in the three tanks, the water The sea is channeled to the evaporation tower which contains it rope (6) made from coconut fiber. Because of its properties from coconut fiber which easily absorbs water, so the water falls The sea that passes through the rope is slow. With the presence of wind and sunlight hitting the rope causes evaporation of sea water contained in the rope will happen quickly. Industrial Application The application of making salt using rope made from coconut fiber can be applied in the MSME industry and large industries. The use of coconut fiber as a raw material Apart from being easy to get and cheap, rope is also environmentally friendly. In terms of quantity, the device in this invention will produce more salt for the same amount of time when compared with conventional methods. Meanwhile, from In terms of quality, the salt products from this tool will also have higher NaCl content and free from micro contaminants.
