FMC's, soda ash, sodium bicarbonate and sodium Sesqui TM carbonate satisfies many diverse chemical unit operations.

FMC is the world's largest producer of natural soda ash (sodium carbonate). Soda ash is effective for adjusting pH, buffering and precipitating metals. Soda ash is a less corrosive, safer and a more cost effective alternative to caustic. Sodium carbonate properties are ideal for environmental applications such as flue gas desulfurization and scrubbing, water hardness control and acid neutralization. 

Soda ash provides a stable and predictable pricing alternative to caustic soda. Soda ash can be used to replace caustic in many applications such as; pH adjustment, acid neutralization, pulp and paper, chemical production, or flue gas desulfurization.

Potable Water Treatment Utility processes can use soda ash, Sesqui TM and/or sodium bicarbonate in the purification process. In its simplest application soda ash is used as a pH adjuster to make the water less corrosive and to reduce pipeline scaling. It also can reduce calcium or magnesium hardness, or remove various other contaminants from the water. Sesqui TM and or sodium bicarbonate can provide buffering or alkalinity sources. Our chemicals are Certified by the NSF and the AWWA as direct water additives under ANSI Standard 60. NSF Certification continues with our product as long as it remains in its original, unopened container from our plant in Green River, WY.

Acid waste stream neutralization is another ideal use of our soda ash products. Dense or light soda ash is used by many of the automotive battery makers for sulfuric acid stream treatment in new battery production or for final pH adjustment in any outflow effluent streams.
