The production of food-grade salt from crude solar salt has been examined through a techno-economic evaluation.This study aimed to investigate a salt factory to analyze its technical and economic here aspects to determine the precise parameters for improving the quality of food-grade salt.The primary process of this factory involves grinding, washing, draining, drying, and fortification, supported by equipment like brine management, conveyors, sieves, and packaging.

The proposed salt plant, designed for a 3-ton daily output over 15 years, requires 30 months for construction and a 4-month startup.The total capital outlay is USD 1,921,000, with USD 310,000 for technology and equipment.Economic indicators, including a Net Present Value (NPV) of USD 7,862,000, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of bolia outlet gent 46.

48%, payback in 1.56 years, and a Return on Investment (ROI) of 64.28%, demonstrate feasibility.

Establishing a salt plant in Indonesia supports food-grade salt production, stabilizes solar salt prices and enhances the welfare of traditional salt farmers.Ultimately, the results of this study can provide valuable insights for evaluating the feasibility of establishing a food-grade salt production plant in Indonesia.
