Our Unique Process

Natural Soda recovers sodium bicarbonate using a process known as solution mining. This involves pumping hot water approximately 1900 feet underground to dissolve the underlying nahcolite beds and return the bicarb saturated water to the surface. The saturated brine is pumped back to the processing facility where the sodium bicarbonate is extracted.

Sodium bicarbonate is crystallized by reducing the temperature of the liquor, and the crystals are collected for further processing. Excess water is then removed by high speed centrifuging (spin drying). The resultant damp crystal mass is further dried, screened and packed in accordance with industry designated specifications. All while maintaining stringent quality accreditation standards.

NAHCOLITE IS SODIUM BICARBONATE IN ITS PURE MINERAL FORM, WHICH ALLOWS NATURAL SODA TO PRODUCE A COMPLETELY NATURAL PRODUCT REQUIRING ZERO CHEMICAL ALTERATION.

Natural Soda produces various size grades of high quality sodium bicarbonate which meet customer’s needs and end use requirements.
