Does the roof of your factory get corroded during the production of salt and iodine? Are you looking for an anti-corrosion roof material? To produce salt in industrial factories from sea, basins high heat and pressure is needed. This evaporates moisture from the brine to produce crystals. Pressures and boiling temperature through machines such as evaporators can damage the roof of salt factories.
Due to the fact that metal roofs corrode faster when exposed to vapors from salt products, choosing an anti-corrosion roofing is very important for salt and iodine factories and industrial sheds.
In this article, we will discuss the best roof material for the industrial salt production line in factories.
Before we dive into the problems of salt production in the roof of industrial factories, let us discuss how industrial salt is manufactured. Industrial salt is commonly produced in factories through a process known as salt evaporation.
The first step in producing industrial salt is extracting raw salt from salt mines or salt flats through traditional mining methods or solution mining techniques. The extracted salt is often crushed and ground into smaller particles to facilitate further processing. In some cases, salt may be dissolved in water to form a concentrated brine solution. This brine solution is commonly used in salt evaporation ponds for further processing.
The brine solution is pumped into large evaporation tanks, where it is exposed to high heat. As the water evaporates, the salt content becomes more concentrated. Due to evaporation, salt crystals begin to form on the surface. These crystals are then harvested using specialized equipment, washing and purification. Then salt crystals are dried in industrial dryers to remove any remaining moisture. Finally they are packaged in various sizes and forms for distribution and sale.
In industrial salt manufacturing processes, particularly in salt evaporation tanks, the release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) gases can contribute to corrosion of metal structures, including factory roofs. These corrosive gases are produced during the natural decomposition of organic matter present in the salt deposits or in surrounding materials.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, flammable gas with a strong odor of rotten eggs. It is highly corrosive to metals, especially in the presence of moisture. When H2S comes into contact with metal surfaces, it can react to form metal sulfides, leading to corrosion and degradation over time.
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a pungent, nonflammable gas. It is commonly produced during the burning of fossil fuels or from industrial processes such as roasting ores or refining sulfur-containing compounds. SO2 can also react with moisture in the air to form sulfuric acid. This acid which is highly corrosive to metal surfaces can damage most of the roof types in salt factories.
High heat can damage roofs in salt manufacturing factories in several ways. The intense heat generated during various stages of the salt production process. such as evaporation and crystallization, can cause thermal expansion and contraction of roofing materials, leading to cracks, warping, and degradation over time.
Additionally, exposure to high temperatures can accelerate the breakdown of roofing materials, particularly if they are not designed to withstand prolonged heat exposure. This can result in the weakening of the roof structure, loss of integrity, and increased susceptibility to damage from environmental factors such as wind, rain, and UV radiation.
In salt manufacturing factories roof materials are very vulnerable. High heat is used to evaporate water from salt brine or to dry salt crystals. the direct exposure of roofing materials to heat sources like industrial furnaces, boilers, or kilns can further exacerbate roof damage. Excessive heat can cause roofing materials to become brittle, shrink, or lose their protective coatings. All of these make them more vulnerable to leaks, moisture intrusion, and corrosion.
When selecting the best anti-corrosion roof materials for salt and iodine factories, it is important to consider the highly corrosive environment created by the presence of salt and iodine. This can accelerate deterioration of traditional roofing materials. But there is one specific alternative option that can make a big difference for salt production roof factories:
Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC) is highly resistant to vapors and chemicals, including acids and salts, and have a long lifespan. Their durability and resistance to UV light and harsh weather makes them a popular choice in industrial settings.
UPVC roof sheets in Sepidfam Varna Company (Polyroof) is cost-effective and highly resistant to chemicals, including salt and other corrosive substances commonly found in salt manufacturing facilities. This resistance helps prevent damage and deterioration of the roof in salt factories and from exposure to such harsh elements.
