Soda Ash

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 which is soluble in water and dissociates into sodium (Na) and carbonate (CO3) ions in solution. Soda ash is primarily used to reduce soluble calcium in water-base drilling muds and makeup waters.

Advantages

  • Widely available
  • Economical
  • Increases pH
  • Effectively removes calcium in most drilling fluids
  • Effective flocculant for spud muds

Packaging and Storage

Soda ash is supplied in a 5 gallon/20 litre pail.
