According to the salt industry system reform plan issued by the State Council, the long-awaited salt industry system reform officially kicked off this year.
At the end of last year, China National Salt Industry Corporation, Tianjin Changlu Salt Industry Corporation, and Hebei Salt Industry Monopoly Group jointly invested in the establishment of China Salt Beijing Tianjin Hebei Salt Industry Co., Ltd. As the only well and mineral salt enterprise in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, Hebei Zhongyan Longxiang Salt Co., Ltd. located in Ningjin County, our province, will become the production base of Zhongyan Beijing Tianjin Hebei Salt Industry Company. The people of Beijing Tianjin Hebei will have access to high-quality well and mineral salt produced in Hebei.
On January 13th, the reporter visited the packaging workshop of Hebei Zhongyan Longxiang Salt Chemical Co., Ltd. and saw bags of 400 gram small packaged salt slowly moving forward on the production line. At present, we are packaging well mineral salt from foreign real estate. After the project is put into operation in the future, this area will become a packaging workshop, "said Liu Baofeng, the company's chief engineer. The Longxiang Salt Chemical Project is under construction and is expected to be put into operation in 2018. At that time, the people of Beijing Tianjin Hebei region will be able to enjoy the well mineral salt produced in Ningjin.
The salt produced by mining ancient rock salt deposits is called mineral salt, and the salt produced by extracting shallow surface or underground natural brine through drilling is called well salt. Due to the coexistence of rock salt deposits with natural brine salt deposits, and the use of drilling water-soluble methods in mining rock salt deposits, well salt and mineral salt are also known as well salt.
Compared with sea salt made from seawater, well salt has the advantages of being purer and of better quality. Sea salt needs to be recycled to enter the salt market, and the cost does not have advantages. In previous years, a large-scale rock salt (rock salt) deposit was proved in Ningjin County, with rock salt reserves exceeding 1.60 billion tons. The salt mine in Ningjin has the characteristics of large reserves and high grade, and the development prospect is good.
Liu Baofeng said that Longxiang Salt will adopt the gypsum type brine non purifying MVR salt production process technology, which can save 45 million yuan in brine purification equipment investment, reduce the direct cost per ton of salt by 20 to 30 yuan, and more importantly, the product purity can reach over 99.85%.

Longxiang Salt will be the first domestic enterprise to adopt MVR salt production technology. ”Liu Baofeng said that the salt produced by this process has a uniform particle size distribution, high purity, and no additives, which will be more popular among consumers. It is understood that the purity of salt produced by domestic brine purification technology can only reach about 99.75%.
As the first modern salt industry enterprise in China that integrates production and sales across regions, China Salt Beijing Tianjin Hebei Company will strive to ensure the safety and quality of salt supply in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region under the new situation. Li Yaoqiang, Chairman of China National Salt Industry Corporation, said that for a long time, China National Salt Industry Corporation, Tianjin Changlu Salt Industry Corporation, and Hebei Salt Industry Monopoly Group Corporation have all faced problems such as single business operations, excessive reliance on salt monopoly policies, relatively backward institutional mechanisms, extensive management, and weak market competitiveness. The degree of homogenization of the three parties' businesses is high, and resources cannot be shared.
Next, Zhongyan Beijing Tianjin Hebei Company will establish a standardized corporate governance structure and market-oriented operation mechanism in accordance with modern enterprise systems. Strive to fully leverage Beijing's brand promotion advantages, Tianjin's R&D and port advantages, and Hebei's production and logistics advantages, to achieve unified business operation, unified financial management, and unified resource allocation. At the same time, Zhongyan Beijing Tianjin Hebei Company will continue to promote the strategy of increasing variety, improving quality, and creating brands, and establish a system and mechanism that adapts to market competition needs.
Li Yaoqiang said that the Longxiang Salt Chemical Project has strong competitive advantages in terms of location, scale, and cost. After completion, it will further enhance the salt security capacity of the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region and significantly improve the salt safety and quality standards.
