Sodium Bicarbonate is used for the following: • To lower the pH of drilling slurry from a pH of 12-14 plus alkaline to a pH range of 8-9. • Added to a base drilling fluid as a pH neutralizing additive. • Added to acidic water as a buffer to raise the pH to 8-9. • Treat cement contamination in SHORE PAC drilling slurry and bentonite water based drilling fluids. • Remove calcium and manganese, which turns hard water into soft water.
