Patent ID: 8894810

Claim:
A system situated at an offshore location for producing crystallized salt and bittern, the system comprising: a buoyant foundation being situated on the surface of a body of seawater, the buoyant foundation comprising: at least one offshore structure or support structure installed onshore, connected to the buoyant foundation, for reinforcement; and a motor propeller installed or a towboat connected to the buoyant foundation, for movement; and components being fixed on the buoyant foundation, the components consisting essentially of: a seawater tank for extracting the seawater at the offshore location; an evaporator tank for evaporating the seawater which is pumped from the seawater tank to produce the crystallized salt and the bittern, the evaporator tank comprising: an evaporator plate for capturing the crystallized salt which is produced and the surface of the evaporator plate being a sieve surface; an evaporator tank opening for releasing water vapor which is produced, to the atmosphere; and at least one wind propeller for supplying breeze; and a heating tank for supplying heating energy to the evaporator tank; a deposit tank for detaching the bittern attached to the crystallized salt which is pumped from the evaporator tank, the deposit tank comprising a flooring with an angled slope; a storage tank for drying and storing the crystallized salt which is pumped from the deposit tank and storing the bittern which is pumped from the evaporator tank and the deposit tank, the storage tank comprising a flooring with an angled slope, a heater and at least one wind propeller; and a plurality of photovoltaic panels for supplying electricity to the heating tank.
