Abstract

This research introduces an innovative solution combining wind-aided intensified evaporation (WAIV) technology with tunnel systems integrating renewable energy sources in salt production. The objective is to facilitate year-round salt production, regardless of unfavorable weather conditions. The study encompassed five Indonesian regions: Sampang, Indramayu, Pati, Bima, and Kupang. It employs a comprehensive analysis covering technical, economic, and environmental aspects. The results demonstrate that the proposed concepts can significantly enhance salt production. Feasibility indicators are positive across all regions, affirming the viability of implementing this concept successfully. Extensive sensitivity analyses were conducted, adjusting critical variables such as salt pricing to assess project feasibility.
