Granular sulphur

In response to the need for a new generation of formed sulfur to meet the increasingly stringent standards imposed in the late 70s by both environmental considerations and customer preference,sulfur formig leaders developed and successfully commercialized a sulfur forming process known as the granulation process.

The granulation process uses a size enlargement process to transform molten sulfur into dense srical solid granules. Small particles of sulfur (seed) are introduced at the feed end of the drum and are sprayed and coated with molten sulfur as the product moves toward the drum discharge. Each applied layer is cooled to solidification before another coat of molten sulfur is applied. With repeated application, bonding and then cooling of successive coats, the seedsincrease in volume and weight until they reach the desired granule size, usually 1 to 6 mm in diameter. A screening process separates undersize granules from the product size granules, which allows the undersize to be recycled to the drum inlet as seeds.

Production statistics show that the Iran supply volume of sulfur was reached to 1.7 million tons in the end of 2006. Near to 660.000 t/a of total production was produced in khangiran and all oil refineries.

Currently and mostly in the future, Shout Pars Field is and will be one of the major sources of sulfur production in Iran. Running the development plans of this field will lead to increasing of sulfur production. For example starting up of the ses 9, 10 will add 400 t/d sulfur production capacity. Each of other ses such as 15,16,17,18 will add 400 t/d sulfur production of Iran.

Sulr produced from any process at the Gas / Oil refineries is of the same basic uent. The forms may differ as the “End Recovery Process” for separation are different. Lumps, Powder Sulr and Granular Sulrs are described below with our expertise in the Sourcing, Packing, Logistics and Shipping.

Granular Sulr. Oil and natural gas are abundant in Iran. Iran Oil and Gas is one of the prime industries in the energy sector.

Sulr is produced as a by-product, separated from the delivery shipped by railway wagons to the warehouse for bagging. Agro Trade has developed its own Loading, Testing, Logistics and Transport facilities. The loading of each cargo is closely monitored by Geo-Chem Inspection and SGS personnel on site in Iran.

Containerised, inspected and tested Sulr cargo is dispatched by trucks from Refinery and Petrochemicals Trade warehouse directly to the Port Of Bandar Abbas (Transit Point). Export Documentation and Vessel loading is completed at Transit area for various destinations with the Certificate of Origin of Iran or Dubai. Sulr from Iran is currently being shipped to China, Pakistan, Turkey, China, Bangladesh and etc.
