Asian crude salt market faces medium-to-long-term shortage

Drying equipment

The rapid development of the salt chemical industry led by soda ash and chlor-alkali (hereinafter referred to as “two alkalis”) is driving the rapid growth of demand for raw salt in China, but the corresponding crude salt production growth is slow. Market participants expect that the Asian crude salt market will face short-term supply shortages.

China is the largest crude salt producer and consumer in the world, and it is also the fastest growing country in the world. However, due to the rapid development of the downstream “two-alkali” industry, a large amount of industrial raw salt still needs to be imported every year. According to statistics, the demand for crude salt in China has increased from 30 million tons in 2000 to 80 million tons in 2011, and is expected to exceed 90 million tons in 2014. Although the production of crude salt in China is also increasing, the growth rate has obviously lagged behind the growth in demand. As a result, the amount of crude salt imported from China has increased significantly in recent years, from 1.5 million tons in 2009 to 4 million tons in 2011. Industry expectation, 2014 In the year, China's raw salt imports will further increase to nearly 7 million tons.

However, while China’s imports of raw salt continue to increase, the abnormal weather conditions in the raw salt producing countries are also increasing, and at any time may cause shortage of raw salt in Asia. At present, the demand for raw salt in Asia is mainly supplemented by the export of crude salt-producing countries such as India and Mexico and Australia. According to statistics, the import demand of raw salt producing countries in Asia, including India, has exceeded 20 million tons each year, and the relative surplus of production capacity is very limited, so abnormal weather will soon affect the Asian crude salt market supply. Judging from the history of production, salt production in India and Australia has often led to a decline in crude salt production due to abnormal weather. Last year, due to the reduction in crude salt production in Australia and Indonesia, the supply of crude salt in Asian markets had been strained.

Lift Platform:

Lifting platform is a vertical transport of people or things lifting machinery. Also refers to the vertical conveying equipment in the logistics systems such as factories and automatic warehouses, and the lifting platform is often equipped with various flat conveying equipment, which serves as the connecting device of conveying lines of different heights.

Generally USES the hydraulic pressure drive, therefore calls the hydraulic elevator platform. In addition to the transport of goods at different heights, it is widely used in installation, maintenance and other operations at high altitude.

The characteristics of the lifting platform free lift has been widely used in municipal maintenance, terminal, cargo transportation logistics center, building upholster, etc., installed the automobile chassis, storage battery car chassis, such as free walk, work height space also change, with light weight, walking, electric start, since the leg, the operation is simple, operation is big, will overcome obstacles 360 degrees to rotate aerial work, as well as merits.
