Any search on the internet will tell you there are many uses for Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate or Washing Soda). From manufacturing glass to food and pharma, soda ash is a versatile compound used in a varying number of industries.
Soda Ash (Na2CO3) is a basic chemical compound used to manage pH levels. Diversified Ceramic Services, Inc. (DCSI) has been successful in supplying Soda Ash to a few of the industries using the compound. Very recently, DCSI has shipped multiple loads to town municipalities for controlling pH levels in their local water treatment facilities. Soda Ash also helps municipalities with the following:
- Water softening – It can be used to remove calcium and magnesium ions, which cause water hardness. By precipitating calcium as calcium carbonate, it prevents scale buildup in pipes and equipment.
- Corrosion control – By neutralizing acids and stabilizing pH, soda ash prevents corrosion in pipes, tanks, and water heaters.
- Contaminant Removal – It can assist in the removal of heavy metals and other impurities by causing them to precipitate out of the water, making them easier to filter out.
Specializing in raw material supply, DCSI can coordinate deliveries into unique locations. Feedback from one customer, “Everything has gone very well, and there are no complaints from the receiving facilities.”
Are you fighting pH levels and water alkalinity? Do you have a facility with challenging delivery requirements? DCSI can work through all that to have Soda Ash delivered to your location to ensure you have the tools to manage your business.
DCSI has been requested to provide Soda Ash to fish farms. Occasionally, there are requirements to raise both pH levels and alkalinity of fishponds. With a pH of 11 – 12, Soda Ash is a strong basic compound and can be used to manage pH and alkalinity providing an environment for fish and shellfish to thrive. Ensure you are very careful with the amount added and pre-dissolve the soda ash prior to adding to any pools. Consulting a water professional is recommended. Additional uses of Soda Ash in Aquaculture include the following:
- Water Treatment – Used to treat source water, like borehole water, before it enters fish tanks to make it suitable for fish survival.
- Shellfish Hatcheries – Essential for providing carbonate to form aragonite, which shellfish need to build shells.
- Transport Aid – Added to transport water to help fish maintain salt balance and buffer pH during stressful transport.
