what we do

Our Business Model

Salinus is a specialist developer of Sulphate of Potash (SOP) projects, partnering with existing operations to integrate SOP production using traditional waste products as feedstock.

By combining technology, operational experience, project development expertise and commercial structuring, Salinus delivers a complete solution from concept to production.

Our cooperation with existing producers is flexible and can include:

  • buying waste feedstock from operators, used to produce and sell SOP; or
  • Joint Venture arrangements; or
  • Build, Own, Operate and Maintain contracts.

SOP from Seawater Bitterns AND SODIUM SULPHATE WASTE

SOP is a macro nutrient and a premium, chloride-free fertiliser that is essential for high-value crops such as fruits, vegetables, and tree nuts.

Salinus will produce SOP from seawater-derived bitterns generated during solar salt production, utilising K-UTEC's patented Schoenite Process. This approach avoids mining, borefields and variable inland brine sources, resulting in a stable, predictable feedstock.

Salinus is also progressing studies into SOP from industry-generated sodium sulphate waste streams, utilising K-UTEC’s patented Glaserite Process to recover valuable minerals, reduce waste disposal and support circular economy principles.

Integrated Production Concept

Our projects are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing operations, leveraging shared facilities and infrastructure and reducing environmental impact.

Shared facilities and infrastructure

Reduced capital and operating costs

Smaller environmental footprint

Improved overall resource efficiency

This integration creates value for both Salinus and the producers supplying these renewable feedstocks.
