Bryneer™

The Bryneer™, Plas-Tanks Industries’ own brine system, is the most efficient brine system available today.  The Bryneer^™ bulk salt storage and brinemaker is the first brining system that is completely designed and manufactured by a fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) fabricator.

With a single source for all brining components you are offered economy and dependability. As a large fabricator of FRP vessels for a variety of applications, Plas-Tanks Industries, Inc., established in 1976, has the capability to customize systems to fit particular requirements for a given installation. Bryneer^™ tanks are manufactured to current ASTM standards, using USDA-approved resins and are conditioned to meet food grade sanitary guidelines.  An exclusive Two (2)-Year Warranty backs Plas-Tanks Industries’ ISO 9001 quality standards and our 28 years of experience.

Experience Downflow Brinemaking
The downflow brining principle ensures consistent brine saturation. As influent water rises, higher density brine sinks. Sludge from rock and solar salt is concentrated at the bottom of the Bryneer™ where it can be periodically removed.

Experience Maintenance-Free Service
Plas-Tanks Industries’ tough, damage-resistant fiberglass reinforced plastic shell is constructed to withstand many years of brinemaking maintenance-free.

Experience Uniform Distribution
In many commercial brinemakers, inlet water is not distributed evenly. Eventually, this results in the formation of salt pillars in the tank, which can collapse and damage the vessel. This problem is eliminated in the Bryneer^™ by use of a schedule 80 PVC ring induction header around the inside circumference of the tank.  The ring is installed at a three-foot height to spray water evenly around the base of the salt mass, resulting in the desirable plug or mass flow.

Experience Hassle-Free Brine Collection
A collector on the bottom of the tank collects brine evenly over the entire surface area of the vessel by infiltration through 4" ID slotted PVC pipe feeding a center mounted FRP plenum. It filters undissolved salt crystals and insolubles from effluent saturated brine. An outlet pipe draws brine from the plenum through a flanged and gussetted nozzle in the vessel wall. When fine vacuum granulated salt is used, the collectors are covered with a quartz rock filter bed to ensure that fine salt crystals do not pass through the slotted PVC pipe. Replacement of such a filter bed should never be necessary due to the insignificant insolubles content of vacuum salt.

Experience Rapid Loading without the Dust
A pneumatic loading and air venting system is designed for rapid loading, easy maintenance and minimum dust emissions. The 4" ID fill pipe is fabricated from 304 stainless steel and mounted for center fill using a long radius turn to minimize particle attrition and dust. The pipe is fitted with an aluminum camlock coupling and cap that adapts to a P/D truck hose connection. A threaded nipple on the pipe may be fitted with a water hose to inject water during truck unloading to wet the conveyed salt, resulting in minimized dust emission.

Conveying air is exhausted through an 8" gooseneck vent at the top of the vessel. A FRP extension mounted to the tank wall, with a salt dust bag at serviceable height, facilitates cleaning. Should the bag become plugged during filling, a 24" weighted manway on the top will open to relieve pressure and prevent tank damage.

Experience Easy Clean Out
All of Plas-Tanks’ BryneersÔ are fitted with a 24” diameter side-mounted, leak-proof manway near the base for convenient clean-out access.  This port is used for periodic sludge clean-outs, which are required when rock and solar salt are used.  All collection and outlet internal piping is removable through the manway for cleaning or repair; however, removal of the internal piping is usually not necessary for a clean out.

Experience an Effective Liquid Level Control System
The BryneerÔ incorporates a unique brine level control system to open and close a valve in the water inlet line. 

The level control can be set for any desired liquid level.  Normally, a “fully wet” mode of 8’ – 9’ is desirable for vacuum granulated or solar salt.  For rock salt, a fully wet level may be used to reduce sludge accumulation and clean-out frequency, or a “semi-wet” level of 3’ – 4’ may be selected.

The digital level control is contained in a corrosion resistant waterproof box.  The unit comes complete with a digital display revealing the brine solution level.  An optional output signal for high-low level alarms capable of sending signals to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) is also available from Plas-Tanks.

NSF

On October 4, 2002, Plas-Tanks Industries, Inc. received NSF 61 certification for the Bryneer.

The Bryneer is widely used in water softening, food processes and in the generation of sodium hypochlorite, which is used in water disinfection processes.  The NSF standard 61 was developed in an effort to control the potentially adverse health effects of products added directly to water for its treatment, storage, and transmission.

Plas-Tanks Industries has adopted this standard to better serve our customers and the 46 states that now require NSF certified products in their water treatment systems.
