Abstract: A process is provided for preparing a salt product with reduced sodium content including the step of providing a concentrated brine, which is typically seawater, to which has been added potassium chloride. The mixture is transferred to a crystalliser unit where at least a portion of the mix is transferred to the crystalliser through a washing column. Liquid is evaporated from the crystalliser such that crystals form, crystals are passed from the crystalliser through said washing column to a separating unit such that in the passing through the washing column the crystals are rinsed with the brine portion being transferred as a counter current through the column. The inventive process is characterised by recycling of the brine from which the salt crystallises, thus all main ingredients of the mixed input brine reach a steady equilibrium concentration in the mother liquor in the crystalliser.
