<br /> <br />process, which is widely used and all the companies there now use it. <br />The material is brought out from underground, and at that point it be- <br />comes crude soda ash. The next step is dissolving it in the water, <br />the solids can then be separated in the solution by gravity. Then <br />there is the "EN step. What you are aiming for in your process, is to <br />crystalize the particle size that will meet the end use. Sugar has to <br />be done the same way. You are looking for material that is convenient, <br />non-dusty, nice to package. Moat of our material is for the glass in- <br />dustry where they want a crystalline-size shape which will react quickly <br />in a glass batch. <br /> <br />The development of the Trona deposit would not be available even today, <br />were it not for the fact that the Green River is within eight to ten <br />miles away and water rights were available. Water is used in our plant <br />at the rate of about 575 gallons per ton. We produce roughly 7,000 <br />tons per day. The waste water, the slurry, is pumped out into an ancient <br />dry lake which ia used as our evaporation pond. <br /> <br />The United States uses a great deal of soda ash and Wyoming is now sup- <br />plying approximately 85 percent. This one single deposit in Wyoming is <br />supplying approximately 85 percent of the soda ash required of all in- <br />dustrial uses in the United States. It has displaced the original sup- <br />plies of soda ash which were based on alkaline brine. <br /> <br />The industry is thriving. <br />the investment standpoint, <br />that industry needs. <br /> <br />The deposit here is the most economic, from <br />of the ability to produce the kind of material <br /> <br />0-14 <br />
