Bulk storage silos made of steel are the perfect solution to store the powdered reagents like hydrated lime, activated carbon, soda ash, and many other dry chemical powders. The cylindrical shape and the conical bottom allow a complete discharge of the product when combined with a mechanical breaker. Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), is an alkali chemical refined from the mineral trona or naturally occurring sodium carbonate-bearing brines (both referred to as natural soda ash), the mineral nahcolite (referred to as natural sodium bicarbonate, from which soda ash can be produced), or manufactured from one of several chemical processes (referred to as synthetic soda ash). Soda ash is stored in metallic hoppers or silos and storing soda ash is a great task as there will be possibility of moisture absorption into the material. Moisture entry maybe due to flooding during raining etc. Manually cleaning such silos are time consuming and combined use of cardox and whipping technology can get things done with more efficient and effective manner. All the residual materials can be re used and sent back to the system allowing soda ash producer get back 100% production rate.
