THE SALT INDUSTRY
IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Great Development of Recent, Years—British Salt
Exported to All Pints of the World.
A supplement to The Graphic. pub- .ta�st.bpanods of evaporation with the
listed last year. gave a description of L d ensuring cheaper production.
the development of the salt industry A d gee -plant has been installed
at the Western Point Works and the
in Great Britain, Goderich being a pans are **fired" with gas, the old
salt tomo, the article is republished method of ooal firing having been
abolished. In the manufacture of
this Mood gas the Cowpony obtain a
valuable by-product in the form of
sulphate of ammonia.
Tbe.nezt step in this forward policy
for cheapening the cost of manufac-
ture was in 1905, when a triple effect
vacuum plant was established at the
Wios(urd Works, and another similar
installation, but with a capacity over
fifty per caul.. greater, is now rapidly
approaching completion at Weston
Point. The Union will then be in a
position to produce the finest and
cheapest soft in the .vorld.
Fine grain salt is manufactured at
this plant by what is known as the
multiple effect evaporator. The
steam required for this purpose is -ex-
haust" steam at atmospheric pressure
fruw the power generating plant,
tektite up by live steam as required.
The Winsford vacuum plant consists
of three Targe pans. eighteen feet
diameter, each pan beiug provided
with a steam belt costainipg the heat-
ing apparatus in the Perm of tubes.
Exh lust steam is couducted to the
steam belt of.,)he first pan, boiling the
brine therein contained, and at the
came time depositing the salt as soon
as it reaches saturation point. Steam
from the boiling brine in pan No. 1 is
conducted by pipes into the steam -
belt ot No. 2, where the .+tome evapor-
ation'and salt -depositing takes place.
The steam from Nu. 2 boils No. 3 with
the sante result and the vapor coming
from the boiling brine in No. 3 is con-
densed under a vacuum of about
twenty-seven inches. The plant pro-
duces on an average about fifteen tons
of salt per hour, and it is removed wheat, but in the Twat Cowmieston

herewith as of especial iutere,t to
many readers of The Signal.
Of the great British industries prob-
ably the beast is known or noticed of
Lbs manufacture of raft, yet it is one
of the oldest in the country, dating
back to the times when Anglia was
invaded sod , e.•upied by the Humans.
Salt -pens ate still preeervcd in the
Northwich Museum which prove that
the processes of manufacture have but
tittle altered for over 1,000 year/, the
only difference being that iron has
displaced the leaden troughs of the
Roman period.
Brine was pumped up from the rock -
salt beds and evaporated by the dimple
urelbod of putting fires beneath :he
panto and boiling the brine in very
mueb the sane way as the work is
carried on today.
Until within the last few years the
evolution has been mainly directed
towards !auger plant. pans and build-
ings. for British salt is now exported
R, ell parts of the world.
The great centre of the industry is
still in Cheshire, with Winsford and
Northwich as "salt towns," existing
practically on the trade, with its allied
chemical manufactures.
Until lift the market watt supplied
by mine forty or fifty manufacturere,
acting independently. ind it was then
realised that some form of combina-
tion was highly necessary to protect
the industry. This resulted in the
formation of the Salt Union which we
bave today, the colossal magnitude of
which to the average person, accus-
tomed only to his table -salt, is never
realized. In additiod to the Cheshire
Wot ks, the Salt Union also own large
works st Stoke Prior and Droitwich
,Worcestershire), Middlesborough
'Yorkshire' and Carriel.eigus (Ire-
land} The foreign trade is chiefly
euppllad by Cheshire, sod India is by
far the largest consumer. CompeU-
tioo foe this market has of recent
years become increasingly keen.
West Africa takes an enormous
quantity as well as Canada: and not-
withstanding the McKinley tariff ,the
United States still shows a marked
preference for certain English brands
as supplied by the Union. Shipments
oo a large scale go to the Baltic and
various European ports ; while our
colooles (Australia and New Zealand)
are extensive buyers, notwithstand-
ing that they rely to suave extent on
local'soureea. Japan bas also found
that tor certain purposes a specially
exported salt exactly suits its require-
eeots.
One of the most interesting depart-
ts of the home trade is that which
deals with "fishery' salt, and during
the winter montbs certain sections of
the Works are busily employed mak-
ing the cessere-grained Balt required,
by special processes. It is stored in
warehouses having a total capacity up
to 60,000 tons in readiness for the fish-
inp se..ton in the sprite/. it is then

Rock -alt beds are usually associ-

Northwieh districts of Cheshire the

seventeen miles of fire required for

about 6.000 h. p.. which the Company
