Pipe, Valves & Fittings (PVF)
Abrasion-resistant and chemical-resistant piping products for slurry, brine and chemical transport
Key Products
- Corrosion-Resistant Piping Systems – Soda ash mining involves harsh chemical environments, particularly during trona ore processing, where hot water injection and brine filtration are critical. DNOW supplies high-nickel alloy and composite pipe engineered to withstand corrosive fluids and high-pressure conditions. These materials are essential for solution mining, where trona ore is dissolved into brine and transported to processing facilities.
- Filtration & Fluid Handling Equipment – The filtration of trona brine to remove particles as small as 25 microns is a key step in soda ash production. DNOW provides mechanical filtration systems, abrasion-resistant valves and slurry pumps designed for high-solids content. Our partnerships with top manufacturers ensure compatibility with stainless steel (AISI 304L/316L) components, maintaining fluid purity and system longevity. Our slurry pumps also support high-efficiency dewatering and processed materials transport.
- Modular Processing Units – To streamline onsite operations, DNOW offers pre-engineered equipment packages for mineral processing plants. These modular skids integrate pumps, valves and control systems tailored for trona refining, reducing the need for custom fabrication. For example, our systems support the conversion of trona brine into dense soda ash (Na₂CO₃) through crystallization processes, which require precise temperature and pH control.
