Drilling Mud Salt Crystals - Salt has been used for many years in the oil drilling industry. Drilling mud is used to lubricate and cool the drill bit during the drilling process. The use of straight water as the basis of the mud can cause erosion in the well cavity, causing the walls of the well to collapse. This problem can be managed by using a salt based brine solution instead of using water. |

Industrial Applications - Salt is used in many industrial applications including water softening. Salt for this purpose is usually a washed or refined grade. Water is considered to be hard when it contains traces of calcium and magnesium, known as hardness ions. Mineral scale can build up in hot water appliances and industrial boilers, reducing energy efficiency and shortening the appliance and equipment life. A similar type of salt is used for making a brine for brine cooling systems. |

Road Stabilization - Salt is used by many road contractors and municipalities as a road stabilization agent. |
