Soda Ash

SODA ASH is the common name for Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3). SODA ASH is used primarily to remove calcium from make-up water and to treat calcium contamination, mainly from drilling anhydrite.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  •  Effectively removes calcium ions
  • Increases the alkalinity and reduces calcium hardness, therefore increasing the yield of
    bentonite and many polymers.
    Over-treatment of SODA ASH may result in excess carbonate, detrimental to bentonite
    drilling fluids.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENT

as required
0.75-1.0 kg/m³ (typically)
1.0 kg/m³ SODA ASH removes ~350 ml/L Calcium ion
