The solution includes removing 20 million tons of salt annually and transferring it 25 km to the northern basin of the Dead Sea. Mark Alspaugh was selected as subject matter expert to supply overland conveyor technology to the project study team. Project options included multiple conveying technologies and single flights over 20 km in length.
