Trona Beds Closest to the Surface
Beds 24 & 25 (closest to surface) are the key for lower manufacturing costs as
lower halite impurities and shallow beds are conducive to efficient mining.

Unique Pond Network Lowers Ore to Ash Ratio
Wider pond surface area and a unique pond network facilitate the minimization
of soda ash lost in processing Trona.
Advantageous Facility Layout

Ponds enable OCI to recover soda ash via deca
rehydration otherwise lost in processing Trona

Technological innovation enables OCI to be more cost
efficient
