Brine rejection that drains from the newly formed ice is replaced by a weak flow of relatively fresh water, from the liquid region below it. The new water partially freezes within the pores of the ice, increasing the solidity of the ice. As sea ice ages and thickens, the initial salinity of the ice decreases due to the rejection of brine over time [Fig. 2]. While the sea ice ages, desalinization occurs to such a degree that some multiyear ice has a salinity of less than 1 PSU. This occurs in three different ways: Brine rejection occurs in the sea ice packs
Brine pipeline Brine pipeline A brine pipeline is a pipeline to transport brine. It is a common way to transport salt from salt mines, salt wells and sink works to the places of salt evaporation (salterns, salt pans). Brine pipelines are also used in the oil and gas industries, and to remove salts and contaminants from water supplies. Brine pipelines were originally made of hollowed wood. One of the earliest known wooden pipelines ran from Bad Reichenhall to Traunstein to Rosenheim, Germany in 1619. An ancient brine pipeline may be traced along the Sentier du Sel, a 12.5 km trail in Chablais
