The end of Walvis Bay’s notorious salt trucks

·20km pipeline to pump salt to port of Walvis Bay ·Construction of pipeline planned for January 2020 ·This will be the world’s first salt transporting pipeline Floris Steenkamp

A consulting engineer has been tasked by Walvis Bay Salt Refiners to design a system to pump salt by pipeline from the salt works to the port of Walvis Bay. An experimental plant, established by Walvis Bay Salt Refiners at its premises at the salt works, has successfully proved that it can be accomplished and is pumping 150 tons of salt per hour for several months on end already. The system shows no sign of engineering fatigue. And before you want to take this with the proverbial pinch of salt: the concept of pumping solid products or by-products from mining by pipeline is not a “new” engineering concept. It is known as slurry transportation

and is used in Namibia for instance by the uranium mines to pump tailings (a mining waste product) from the crushers to the tailings dams. Namib Times visited Walvis Bay Salt Refiners on

Desalination has become a matter of “do or die” Sharlien Tjambari Desalination is not a luxury anymore. It has become a matter of do and die. This was the message on Wednesday by the Governor of Erongo, Clr Mutjavikua, during his State of the Nation Address (SORA). As the term refers, SORA is a platform each year by which the Governors of all of Namibia's fourteen regions provide a snapshot of the economic and social condition of each particular region. Governor Mutjavikua highlighted a number of key challenges Erongo face. The persistent drought is top on the agenda and in this regard the Governor said desalination has become a critical issue for the Region.

Wednesday to learn more about the envisaged pipeline project. The newspaper's Floris Steenkamp was briefed by the managing director of Walvis Bay Salt Refiners Mr André Snyman and the company's operations manager, Mr Klaus Frielingsdorf on the project. The basic principle lies in the fact that solids can be transported by pipeline with water as the carrying agent. In the case of transporting salt, it is possible to pump salt by means of a saturated salt water medium and then transport it by pipeline. The salt crystals cannot dissolve, as the water is already at saturation point. A centrifuge at the end-point is then used to separate the salt crystals from the water, much like a washing machine would clear water from laundry during the spinning cycle. In Morocco a 200km pipeline pumps phosphate from the phosphate mines to processing facilities. “Slurry transportation is not a new concept but if we get the project go ahead it would be the first time in history that salt is transported by pipeline”, explained Mr Snyman. Adding, the experimental project actually served as a screening environmental impact assessment to proof firstly if it was possible to pump salt slurry by pipeline and then to highlight any possible negative environmental impacts. “We used the experimental project to expose to us any possible showstoppers”, Frielingsdorf explained. Frielingsdorf has been nurturing the idea of pumping salt through a pipeline for many years. He is thrilled with the performance of the experimental plant and he looks forward to the actual salt slurry transportation plant taking its rightful place in salt production at Walvis Bay Salt Refiners. The proposed pipeline would follow a 10km route to the port of Walvis Bay (see satellite picture) and 10km back to the salt works. Like a heart pumping blood to deliver oxygen to the body and carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation, the water will on a permanent basis flow through the pipeline first to deliver the salt to the port and then flow back to the salt works to pick up salt. With this experimental project successful, Walvis Bay Salt Refiners appointed a consulting engineer recently to design a concept salt slurry transportation plant. The design must make provision for a 20km pipeline that can deliver salt from the salt works to the port of Walvis Bay, at a rate of 250 tons per hour. Once this concept design is delivered by the consulting engineer, the process will commence to carry out a full environmental impact assessment and obtain an environmental clearance certificate. According to Snyman, the Board of Directors will be provided with a ready-togo project proposal. He expressed hope that all stakeholders can be on board by the end of the year, so that construction of the slurry transportation system can commence in January 2020 already. For Walvis Bay Salt Refiners 2020 is an important year. The completion of the new, hi-tech wash plant will increase production to 1, 2 million tons of salt per annum. An efficient salt transporting system would fit in perfectly in the company's expansion strategy. At the same time, the salt pipeline would also end the need for salt trucks which for many decades is the only means of transport of bulk salt between the salt works and the stockpiling area in the port of Walvis Bay.

A pipeline to transport salt from the salt works to the port of Walvis Bay will mean the end of salt trucks which for many decades remained a headache to Walvis Bay residents. The salt trucks often pose a traffic menace, motorists are frustrated by slippery road conditions in 5th Road caused by salt trucks from time to time and the municipality of Walvis Bay frequently needs to carry out street maintenance on the salt truck route which stretches down Kovambo Nujoma Drive and 5th Road to the port of Walvis Bay’s South gate

The pipeline is of such a diameter that it can be installed with minimal mechanical effort beneath the sand and thereby pose no threat to either the mud flats or the lagoon’s seabed itself.

Unemployment, housing and the need for serviced erven in urban centres in Erongo, according to Clr Mutjavikua, is a growing pro-blem which need urgent intervention. On a more positive front, Governor Mutjavikua referred to a number of projects which offers economic opportunities to the Region. In this regard he referred to the salt washing plant of Walvis Bay Salt Refiners which nears completion and the completion of the container terminal on reclaimed land in the port of Walvis Bay that where construction is also winding up. The Governor also made mention to other projects that raise the bar for prosperity in Erongo: the Erongo Development Agency (EDA); the Erongo Desalination Plant and the Omaruru Agricultural Development Corridor (OAD).

New aviation record at the BB/Uis Fly-In Floris Steenkamp A new aviation record was set up at Uis recently, when the country's first 6 aircraft formation was flown there. The new record was set up during the 2019 Brandberg/Uis FlyIn that took place last weekend. The new formation flying Namibian record was set up by aviators Mike Böttger (RV-8); Matthias Röttcher (RV-7); Tinus Dreyer (C210); Jacques Jacobs (CJ6 Nanchang); Phillip Opperman (RV7) and Ross Leighton (RV-8). The first Fly-In took place in 2004 at the farm Röstock of Mr. Wolfgang Kühhirt (Kücki). It was held at Röstock until 2014. Then in 2015 the annual Fly-In moved to Uis and ever since is held at this beautiful town at the foot of the majestic Brandberg. All five Fly-Ins so far was organised under the able hands of LISAMA (Light Sport Aircraft and Amateur Built Aircraft Association of Namibia). The extensive experience of Dr. Henk Koster (is an experienced Precision Flying and Rally Pilot, participated various times in World Championships. Became overall 1st with South African Team and 3rd Individual) in organising these Fly-Ins is also much valued. This year 56 aircraft turned out for the event and 30 took place in the various competitions that take place during the Fly-In. Apart from the Namibians, ten aircraft from South

Africa participated as well as Rachel Mueller from Luxembourg and Dirk Reich from Switzerland (It is Reich's third Namibian Fly-In). That include cross-country navigational flying, precision landing and other flying skill challenges that put to the test both pilot and aircraft. A total of 400 spectators turned out a most enjoyable social event. The full results of the 2019 Brandberg/Uis Fly-In are as follows (aircraft type indicated in brackets after name of participant: Best Navigation Exercise: Dirk Reich (Jabiru). Best Spot Landings: 1.

World Ocean Day....

World Oceans Day, celebrated each year on 8 June, is a rather big event in Walvis Bay this year. This day serves every year to remind humans around the globe of the direct link there is to be drawn between the health of the human race and the health of our oceans. Particularly plastic pollution of our oceans. The celebrations this year start today already with a mass beach clean-up of the Independence beach north of Walvis Bay and ends on Sunday with the finals of a soccer tournament that was organised just for this occasion. On Saturday, the official day of World Ocean Day, proceedings move to the Kuisebmond stadium where the public would be addressed among others by the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources Bernard Esau and the Minister of Environment and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta. It is expected Minister Esau will put strong emphasis on the Blue Economy principle towards which Namibia works.

Scramble for schools.....

Warning after spate of housbreakings Smoke detected at mall Activities briefly grinded to a halt at the Pick 'n Pay Mall in Walvis Bay's central business district on Wednesday morning when smoke was detected in the central hallway. Smoke was seen coming from the roof of the mall and the fire brigade was scrambled to the scene. Technicians were then summonsed to open the roof panels and soon it was discovered that a short circuit on an air conditioning unit might have been the culprit that caused the smoke.

Fell through a roof A Walvis Bay man remains in the intensive care unit of the Welwitschia Private Hospital, after he fell through a roof structure at Namib Mills' depot in the harbour town on Monday. The man, who was identified as a certain Dewald Clarys, suffered serious injuries to his lower body and remains in a medically induced coma. It was confirmed Clarys is employed by Steel Africa which is conducting roof construction work for Namib Mills on its premises. Upon inquiries the managing director of Steel Africa, Chris Bruyns, confirmed the incident. Bruyns said the incident is now under investigation.

The Swakopmund Neighborhood Watch issued a warning to residents living in Strand Street, First Avenue, Fischreier Street and the streets leading off them to be on alert. There had been a spate of housebreakings. Most of the incidents occur early evenings between 19:00 and 22:00.

The enrolment of learners for Grades R, Grade 1 and Grade 8 for the 2020 school year has started on Tuesday at schools at the coast. The enrolment process forms part of the national enrolment process and concludes today at noon. The scramble for a place in the school benches has to be concluded as soon as possible, as this would allow Government and other school education stakeholders ample time for the remainder of 2019 to prepare that there is adequate space.

Although they could not win a game this year they were very competitive and even unlucky not to end up winning. With Joshua Jacobs and Lezardo Vos on duty for the Welwitchia and Lloyd Jacobs on the side-line with an injury Kudu will be a demanding and tough opposition.
