Chemical Engineering

Our Chemical Engineering division specializes in supplying high-quality chemicals, including soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, sodium sulphate, and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), for diverse industrial applications.

Sodium Bicarbonate

Sodium Bicarbonate is used to act as buffers, neutralizing agent that provides a source of CO2. it is also used in fire extinguishers to contain/put out fires.

Sodium bicarbonate is used to bring down the SO2 levels that been discharged into the atmosphere, it is an important part of flue gas process. Scrubbers require sodium bicarbonate to react with the sulfur that’s been discharged into the atmosphere.

Soda Ash

Soda Ash is also known as sodium carbonate washing soda, and soda crystals, and in the monohydrate form as crystal carbonate), Na2CO3. It is an essential raw material used in the manufacturing of glass, detergents chemicals and other industrial products

Soda ash is made in two main grades – light and dense. These have the same chemical properties and only differ in physical characteristics, such as bulk density and particle size.

Soda ash has a number of diversified uses that touch our lives every day. Detergent and Glass manufacturing are the largest application for soda ash. Other uses for soda ash are found in the metallurgy; paper; textile and water purification industries.

Sodium Sulphate

Sodium sulphate is one of the most important minerals in the chemical industry. Sodium sulphate is the inorganic compound with formula Na2SO4 The mineral thenardite is natural sodium sulphate.

It is soluble in water and has a salty taste like the mineral halite. The primary use of sodium sulphate worldwide is in the powdered detergents. Sodium sulphate is a low-cost, inert, white filler in home laundry detergents

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)

Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS) is a white foam plastic material. It is produced from solid beads of polystyrene. It is used for packaging and construction. It is a closed-cell, rigid foam material produced from:

 

  • Styrene – which forms the cellular structure
  • Styrene – which forms the cellular structure
