Breccia, I Don't claim to have full comprehension of water usage for FCV. I too spoke to Ralph and also David at the core shack. My impression was , they can use salt water primarily, for fresh water demands they will have, they can buy and use modular desalination units that are available as turnkey set ups. No idea of salt water effect on life of equipment. As for salt in the product, it seems some salt is beneficial. EG Potash has very high levels of chloride. Some comments on salt in fertilizer here: ipni.net!OpenDocument No idea of the subtleties of the matter but cannot imagine FCV would be advancing this if they were to produce a product that would be harmful as a fertilizer. Although sodium chloride is the main salt in seawater I assume the concentrations in the final product would be very low . Is it possible the salt content may be mitigated by other chemical interactions in the final product? Not sure. Vale et al are producing the same product 10 miles away so FCV is not pioneering the idea of producing phosphate in this region from this type of rock.
