H Sulphur Corp. (Seoul, South Korea) on June 20 announced plans to nearly double the company’s solid sulfur production capacity, boosting output by 156,000 mt/y from the current 160,000 mt/y capacity.
IPCO Germany (Fellbach, Germany) was contracted to build two new production lines at H Sulphur’s Ulsan, South Korea, production facility, both of which will utilize the high-speed Rotoform pastillation process.
Commissioning of the new lines is slated for February 2023. The plant currently operates five solid sulfur production lines, including one cooling-belt type and four drum types.
In addition to solid sulfur, H Sulfur produces sulfur bentonite as well as urea-enhanced sulfur, produced via a licensing of Shell’s Thiogro production process.
