DESIGN GUIDELINES & TECHNICAL INFORMATION The following are design guidelines for components and sizing the brinemaker system: All types of salt can be used in the Scienco® SciBRINE® Brinemakers: Pelletized Salt, Rock Salt, Solar and Food Grade Granulated Salt. A graded gravel bed is required when using granulated salt. Down-flow Brining - Harvesting brine from the base of the brinemaker ensures a consistent, near saturated brine as the brine sinks and separates from the rising input water. Liquid Head - Minimum of 8 feet, fluctuating between 7-9 ft. Brine fluidizes the salt mass to discourage channeling and ensures a consistent gravity feed of brine through the filtration zone into the collecting cistern. Filtration Zone - 36 inches of salt and a graded gravel bed just below the water and covering the brine collection cistern. This separates undissolved crystals and insolubles from the brine. The gravel bed also encourages a uniform cross-sectional draw of brine. Graded gravel consists of 7 inches of 1/4” x 1/2” covered with 5 inches of 1/8” x 1/4” material.

DESIGN GUIDELINES & TECHNICAL INFORMATION Brine Collector Cistern - Six lateral stringers of Free Board - There should be at least one foot of 6.75 inch OD, slotted PVC pipe connected to a center sidewall freeboard upon salt delivery to ensure proper plenum. Uniform collection of gravity-fed brine over the separation of salt and conveying air and avoid plugging cross-sectional area of the brinemaker, discourages the fill pipe and dust vent orifices. In a 10 ft. diameter channeling of the filtration zone. tank, each foot of rise is equivalent of 3 tons of salt. In Brine Withdrawal - Preferred method...
