Applications
- pH adjustment of drilling Bentonite
- pH adjustment of drilling Polymers
Soda Ash
Soda Ash is used in water-base mud as a source of carbonate ions to precipitate calcium, increase pH or flocculate spud mud. Soda Ash is the common name for sodium carbonate (Na2CO3).
It is a weak base that is soluble in water and dissociates into sodium (Na) and carbonate (CO3) ions in solution.
Description
- Easy to mix and use
- Economical method to increase pH
- Maximises yield of drilling fluid
