What happens here
After production, the brine is transferred to large outdoor storage tanks. For a large-scale operation, a common setup includes three 5000-gallon tanks: two for finished salt brine and one for a brine additive. These tanks are designed for outdoor storage because eutectic salt brine (mixed at 23.3%) has a freeze point of -6°F, making it resilient to cold temperatures common in de-icing climates. Storing brine outside frees up valuable heated indoor shop space and ensures a ready supply for snow events.
Goal: Optimize storage of brine and additives while conserving indoor space
