Benefits of Sulphur
consistent quality
Pellets and Globules,
high moisture content in Pastilles
resistance, hence low dust
in pellets and Globules
good flow characteristics & good remelt characteristics,
lower handling and transportation losses
During the hydrogenation process of refining crude oil, Hydrogen Sulphide is released and converted to elemental sulphur. Most of the sulphur produced is used to make sulfuric acid (H2SO4), carbon disulphide, sulphur dioxide, and phosphorous penta-sulphide. Sulphur comes under Arms and Ammunition Act. The license is issued by District Magistrate for acquiring storage and sale of Sulphur at Domestic market.

|---|---|---|
| Molten | It is in the liquid form | Used in nearby industry where the
molten sulphur could be used directly in process. Requires special transportation in Bulk tankers. |
| Pastilles | Large lumps formed by dropping sulphur in water pits |
Has significant amount of moisture
and external contaminants. Can be transported in Stake Trucks and stored in open yards. |
| Formed | Formed as pellets thru Rotoformer or as Globules in a prilling tower |
Can be transported in Stake
Trucks and stored in open yards. |
