That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm sure that some of that equipment is ordered from the manufacturer with the intent of salt production. So, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the equipment had a special clear coat or something. They may even spray down the equipment with a solution weekly at the facility.
Ryan, I just completed 2 months of a Salt harvest here in Australia, yes it dose rust if it is not looked after but if it is washed down properly the equipment will last forever.
excellent video again, i like the bamboo shoots, they taste good, keep up the excellent videos and get your farm the way you like it🥰❤ ! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
the amount of radioactive water released into the pacific in this event is like dropping a drop of food coloring in gulf of mexico, likely less. there's more radioactive run off from regular shore erosion than what happened here. it's devastating for the local area and japan, but the farther away you get from it, the less significant it becomes, eventually becoming insignificant compared to natural erosion.
Cargill singlehandedly lowering the salinity of the ocean by 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001^-10%
One of the heaviest industrialized ocean bays in the world, with attendant pollution runoff that finds its way into the dehydrated salt and hence into the human food chain. yum, yum.
What causes most metal to rust out isn't the salt itself, it's the abrasion from the salt getting thrown at the metal. The same happens to areas with fine gravel roads and sand used in place of salt. Part of the reason why sawdust and woodchips are becoming more common. Cheaper to produce and is a lot softer than gravel, sand, and salt.
Would think machines stay no more than two seasons, then sold on. Even if washed all the time the salt will stay for ever and do its work during the next ownership, probably Africa or something.
not very bright are they, they could separate the water from the salt in 6-12 months by doing this in alaska as the water will freeze into ice and the saltier layer will still be at the bottom. i'd go into further detail but i'm not being paid to give away basic technique that would reduce their costs by 30,000%
Do you have any idea how modern farms work? LOL.. all food is harvested threw large equipment, which is greasy and dirty... ( epic im replying to a 6 year old comment ) lol
They use fresh water to wash it. If they used salt water to do so your right it would revert back to brine. Salt takes longer to dissolve in fresh water and the washing is quick so there really isn't any lose (except the very fine power).
The same follows tee with most rock salt. Most rock salt is what's called "solar salt" meaning it's usually salt water based also. They flood huge pools and using the sun over time the water evaporites just like the video shows. As I said above sea salt takes longer to desolve in fresh water.
With the Pacific Ocean becoming the dumping grounds for all the radiation running out of the power plant at Fukushima Japan is this salt monitored for radiation? I don't think that I would use it.
it won't, the pacific ocean is too large to make a effect, again, it's like putting a drop of food coloring in the gulf of mexico and trying to find it, you don't realize how large the pacific ocean is and that it goes through a lot worse than this radioactive spill. do you have a degree on marine sciences? marine biology? wait, you can't, otherwise you would know how ridiculous your claims are.
That would sure be a lot of jobs but no although I'll bet they do have to replace equipment regularly but then what would you expect they have to do what they have to do
how is being logical about this ignoring it? you're going from concerned about radioactive pollution to complaining that no one cares about the disaster.....I think you need to get your priorities straight.....
