Sulphurnet has focused its activities on the Design and Manufacturing of liquid sulphur melting and purification plants. We engineer complete Sulphur melting and filtration systems to the strictest production and environmental requirements, with a typical turnkey project covering the entire process from the Solid Sulphur Feeding conveyors, up to the clean sulphur storage tank.
Our activities range from the FEED (front-end engineering design) to the manufacturing and start-up of the plant. Sulphurnet delivers turnkey solutions for sulphur melting and purification, including utility equipment and control systems.
The typical Sulphurnet sulphur melting and filtration process starts in the solid sulphur handling section, where solid sulphur gets loaded on a conveyor belt and gets neutralised by adding lime.
Using the conveyor belt the solid sulphur is transported to the liquid sulphur melting tank, where the sulphur is heated until it’s melting point to form liquid sulphur.
Whereafter the Liquid Sulphur flow from the Melting tank into the dirty sulphur tank from where it is pumped to the liquid sulphur filter. Inside of the liquid sulphur filter, solid particles are removed from the liquid sulphur. Additionally, a liquid sulphur polishing filter can be installed after the liquid sulphur filter to remove even finer particles and to act as a safety filter.
The now clean liquid sulphur is stored in the liquid sulphur storage tank from where it can be used by other processes requiring clean liquid sulphur.
Sulphurnet Sulphur Melters are above-ground tanks with steam coils which provide the energy required for melting solid sulphur.
The tank comes equipped with a conical bottom with the ability to drain without stopping the tank operation, is executed with internal brick lining for corrosion prevention and is fitted with an agitator to increase melting efficiency.
The main advantages of using a Sulphurnet Sulphur Melter are:
At the heart of every Liquid sulphur melting and purification plant one ore more liquid sulphur filters ore strainers are installed to remove contaminants such as ash, bitumen and organics from the liquid sulphur. Sulphurnet offers the following jacketed filtration systems for liquid sulphur:
Modular units for sulphur melting and filtration. These units can be combined to create a complete compact sulphur melting and purification plant that is adaptable for a broad range of capacities, from 5 to 300 Mt sulphur/day.
In order to allow for maximum control over the Sulphur Melting and Purification process, Sulphurnet offers a wide variety of process instrumentation and valves suitable for use with liquid sulphur.
Sulphurnet offers the following instruments and valves:
Operator and bystander safety is a very important topic while loading and unloading liquid sulphur trucks and railcars. That is why Sulphurnet offers pump systems that guarantee safe, reliable, and quick operations.
The complete skid is designed by Sulphurnet as a plug-and-play solution that minimizes the work on-site with a fast installation feature and is manufactured in a controlled environment following all international standards
