Saltworks

Saltworks are facilities that extract salt from natural sources such as seawater or mineral-rich brines. Through processes like evaporation or special chemical treatments, they concentrate and collect salt for various uses—mainly in food, industry, and de-icing. These operations can be scaled from small artisanal setups to large industrial plants. Modern Saltworks often incorporate energy-efficient methods and environmental safeguards to minimize ecological impact. Overall, they play a vital role in providing essential salt supplies while managing natural resources responsibly.
