Optimizing Facilities Around The Globe

The Wilkins-REDD Salt Group was tasked with supporting a salt production plant by modeling production for three salt fields in Kenya. This model, developed by Mr. Guy Wilkins, has been instrumental in designing and improving some of the most efficient pond systems globally, with a proven accuracy within 10% of actual production.

Based on provided data, model results estimated potential yields in metric tonnes/year and identified key opportunities for improvement. Recommendations included enhancing washing and refining to reduce losses by 10%, improving intake systems to boost production by 15–45%, and upgrading pickle/bittern ponds to raise output by another 15%.

Wilkins-REDD also proposed installing wind pumps to reduce electricity usage, methods to locate and reduce seepage, and better data collection techniques for future planning.

Each recommendation included detailed analysis and actionable steps to guide implementation—providing the client with a clear path toward improved production, efficiency, and long-term management.
