The client is a Turkey-based company engaged in the production and distribution of soda ash. To extract the soda, caverns are leached using fresh water, and the resulting brine is processed in a subsequent production facility. For the development of the cavern field northeast of Tarsus, comprising 22 caverns, PSE was commissioned to carry out the design and detailed engineering of the brine solution facilities.

The planning covered the entire building and station infrastructure for the brine solution facility, including all necessary auxiliary and secondary systems. This includes the main brine pumps, brine transfer pumps including a low-flow pump, nitrogen blanketing system, brine settling basin, brine transport pipelines, medium and low voltage switchgear, and the process control system.

PSE was commissioned to carry out the basic and detailed engineering.
