Our company has operated in the market since 1999. The headquarters of 'Krysztalowy Swiat®' is situated in Wieliczka, in the vicinity of Wieliczka Salt Mine – the oldest Polish salt company which origins reach back to the Middle Ages. The aforementioned mine entered the UNESCO's First World List of Cultural and Natural Heritage on 8th September 1978, together with 11 other sites from around the world.
Basing on traditions and experience of Wieliczka Salt Mine and its Underground Rehabilitation and Treatment Centre, we manufacture Salt Plates®, Salt Panels®, we design and build Crystal Salt Chambers, Salt Grottos and Salt Caves. We furthermore make interior designs using salt. We execute our orders on the highest possible level, providing our clients with efficient and prompt installation as well as certified appliances. If required all the spare parts to these appliances are in our stock. We also offer guarantee services, including after guarantee service as well as constant customer's service on demand.
We invite all interested to cooperation. All the inquiries and questions will be responded with an utmost pleasure.

Salt Grottos use - part 3rd
UNCONVENTIONAL USESSome unconventional concepts have been proposed for the use of salt grottos. A number of these are noted here.
Storage of food grains in salt grottos, with pneumatic conveyance systems, has been proposed. Storage of liquid natural gas (LNG) in salt caverns is appealing, because volume requirements are reduced by a factor of about 600 from the gas phase. However, cryogenic temperatures are required, which caused extensive fracturing of salt in an LNG storage test in a German mine. Gas storage volume requirements can also be reduced, by a factor of about 2, by using chilled gas. Examples of unusual material stored in salt grottos include hydrogen and anhydrous ammonia, and helium.
Unusual cavern configurations have been proposed, and some constructed. Pairs of “Over and Under” caverns in Armenia provide brine-compensated and natural gas driven systems for storing butane. Twolevel cavern pairs, utilizing brine and natural gas flowing rapidly between levels, have also been proposed for energy storage in The Netherlands.
Waste disposal in a series of vertically separated salt caverns, solution-mined from a common well, has been proposed. The caverns, plugged between levels, would not transfer pressures vertically. The “string of pearls” concept was proposed for disposal of hazardous waste in the Vinton salt dome in south Louisiana in the 1980’s. However, disposal of all hazardous waste in salt domes was shortly banned.
To close this subsection we note the unusual use of salt formations in the U.S. For tests of nuclear devices. Two 5-kiloton devices were detonated in salt as events within the “Plowshare” and “Project Dribble” programs, respectively. The events “Gnome” of Plowshare took place in bedded salt near Carlsbad, New Mexico, in 1961, and “Salmon” of Project Dribble occurred in the Tatum dome near Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in 1964. Three additional tests involving explosions of natural gas were performed in the cavity formed in the Tatum salt stock by Salmon. To date no leakage of radioactivity has been reported over the Tatum dome, which can be cited as an example of the exceptional containment properties of salt grottos, given adequate confinement and salt cover.
