Sulphur Solidification and Forming (Granulation)

Overview Process Product Characteristics Key Features

Zafaran Sulphur Granulator (ZG15™ - 15T/h)


This is the most common method of sulphur solidification. In this method, solid sulphur particles or
seeds are sprayed and coated with molten sulphur as they move through a rotating drum. With
every added coat of molten sulphur the particles increase in size and weight until they finally reach
a desired diameter of 2-6 mm (SUDIC).

An important aspect of this technique is the ability to achieve high production capacity with just a
single-unit granulator. Common single-unit granulators today have a production capacity up to 720
tonnes per day, which is considerably higher than what can be achieved using other methods of
sulphur forming.

Zafaran sulphur granulation units can be used either as single-unit or multiple-units operating in
parallel. These Granulators are easy to repair and have low maintenance costs compared to similar
equipment. Products of these units meet international standards and specifications (SUDIC), and
have highly desirable physical and chemical properties, some of which are listed in "key features"
section. The low energy consumption level of these Granulators and their full compliance with all
environmental standards make them a superior choice. Such advantages have compelled sulphur
producers to increasingly use this approach, making it the most common method of sulphur
forming used today.

Liquid sulphur is stored in a special tank after degasification before it is pumped through a 250
micron filter into a granulator. A granulator unit consists of a horizontally rotating drum which is
sloped toward the bottom. Liquid sulphur is sprayed through spray nozzles mounted on liquid
sulphur header which is mounted inside the drum. Inside the drum are many sulphur particles or
seeds (less than one millimeter in diameter) which are raised on wings along the inside the drum
and allowed to drop as the drum rotates. The raising and dropping cycle creates a continuous
curtain of sulphur seeds inside the drum.

Molten sulphur is sprayed directly on to this curtain, each time a falling seed passes through the
spray a layer of molten sulphur is deposited on its surface. The layer then cools and solidifies while
the cycle starts again. The cycle repeats until the seeds grow to a size of 2-6 mm, then the seeds
exit the drum in order to meet SUDIC requirements.

Water streams inside the drum constantly cool the sulphur granules. The hot temperature inside
the drum (in excess of 100℃) is due to the heat emitted from the sulphur granules. This heat
vaporizes the water droplets and exits the drum through exhaust fans. In this way, the fans
remove the excess water vapor and ultimately control the temperature of the air inside the drum.
The vaporized water that exits the drum also carries a small amount of sulphur dust. A dry steam
jacketed cyclone filter then separates these dust particles and re-melt them for incorporation into
the production of more sulphur.

Sulphur Solidification and Forming (Pastillation)


Overview Process Product Characteristics Key Features

Zafaran Sulphur Pastillator (ZP5™)

Pastillation is another common method for sulphur solidification that has drawn more attention in
recent years due to its low impact on the environment. Through this method, drops of liquid
sulphur are placed on a steel belt cooler in regular rows using a liquid sulphur injector machine.
The liquid sulphur loses heat as it moves on the steel belt cooler and forms into uniform
hemispherical shapes called pastilles.

Since water and sulphur do not come into direct contact with one another through this method,
pastillation entails fewer environmental difficulties than other sulphur solidification methods.
Pastillation is an increasingly popular choice due to its relative ease of setup and high quality end
product. Another advantage of this method is its versatility; the same equipment can be used to
create other products, such as Sulphur Bentonite and Urea. Some sulphur solidification plants that
use Zafaran pastillators can produce elemental sulphur, Sulphur Bentonite, or sulphur urea
pastilles according to prevailing market demand. This versatility also accounts for increasing
interest in Sulphur pastillation in production plants around the world.

Zafaran's pastillators have an operating capacity of 120 tonnes per day, and their modular design
allows them to be integrated together to achieve higher production capacity on demand. This
modularity also allows a plant to continue production when one of the units is not operational,
while also enabling rapid plant start-up with lower capital investment costs.

After degasification liquid sulphur is stored in a special tank before it is pumped through a 300-
micron filter into a pastillator. Zafaran pastillators consist of three main sections: a feeding bar
and a rotor (both non-moving parts), and a stator which revolves around them. Liquid sulphur
enters the feeding bar and is injected onto a moving steel belt cooler through the holes on a
perforated rotor.

Synchronizing of the steel belt cooler speed with the rotor is one of the most important factors
affecting the shape of the pastilles and needs to be set precisely at production time to ensure a
uniform product shape. When properly synchronized, the injected sulphur pastilles form
hemispherical shapes as they cool and solidify while moving along the steel belt cooler. The
temperature of the steel belt cooler is maintained by controlling the temperature and flow rate of
water that is sprayed onto the underside of the belt. This water absorbs the heat from the molten
sulphur and then goes to a cooling tower before it is stored in a water tank for re-use at the belt
cooler. Based on the climate and temperature of the production plant location, a chiller may be
required to supplement the cooling tower. Water never comes into contact with sulphur through
this method.

A release agent is applied evenly as a thin layer to the surface of the steel belt cooler to prevent
molten sulphur adhesion, to help removal of the pastilles from the surface, and to ensure a
uniform pastille shape. The sulphur pastilles have an approximate temperature of 60℃ as they
approaches the end of the steel belt, where they are scraped from the belt by a blade and
transported by a conveyor to a storage unit. An exhaust air system installed above the cooling belt
prevents the spread of sulphur gases away from the pastillator unit.

PREMIUM SULPHUR
GRANULATION
In response to the need for a new generation of formed Sulphur to
meet the increasingly stringent standards imposed by both environ-
mental considerations and customer preference, Enersul developed
and successfully commercialized a Sulphur forming process known
as the Enersul GX™ granulation process.
The Enersul GX™ granulation process uses a size enlargement
process to transform molten Sulphur into dense spherical solid
granules. Small particles of Sulphur (seed) are sprayed and coated
with molten Sulphur as the product moves through a rotating drum.
Each applied layer is cooled to solidification before another coat of
molten Sulphur is applied. With repeated application, bonding and
then cooling of successive coats, the seeds increase in volume and
weight until they reach the desired granule size, between 2 to 6 mm
in diameter.
The GX™ Granulation Process produces unmatched premium
quality Sulphur granules with uncommonly low moisture content
and friability. This advanced forming process is available in the
high capacity GXM1™ (1250 TPD) model and the low-medium
capacity skid-mounted GXM3™ (500 TPD) model. Granulation is
an enlargement process, in which liquid Sulphur is repeatedly
sprayed onto seed granules over and over coating the granule until
it is the appropriate size

Although Enersul is renowned for the GXTM Granulation process, we also offer the
alternative, WetPrillTMforming process. The WetPrillTM forming product is known for its low
friability, low moisture content, and high bulk densisty. It is also a process that is proven to
allow forming at a higher variety of temperatures, with lower operation costs, and smaller
plant footprint.

The WetPrillTM process starts at the top of a forming tower, where molten liquid Sulphur is
pumped into perforated streams, where small droplets of the liquid Sulphur fall into cooling
water. The cooling water causes the liquid Sulphur to instantly form into uniform droplets,
and the newly formed WetPrillTM pellets can be easily handled and transported.

This process has been continuously refined and improved by Enersul through in-plant
operational development, in conjunction with a research pilot plant facility. The shape of the
end product are small, round, and uniform, with few entrained fines.
Through thorough research and development, Enersul boasts three WetPrillTM forming
technologies, the original WetPrillTM, Mini WetPrillTM, and WetPrill2000TM.

TRUSTED REMELTING
EXPERIENCE
Enersul’s design is a culmination of many years of remelter operations and development. We
have proven capabilities in difficult remelting situations such as remelting contamination and
high moisture feed stocks. While in all ambient conditions our machines still demonstrate low
operating and maintenance requirements.

Remelting Sulphur must be approached properly to eliminate the dangers associated with
handling Sulphur. It is incredibly important to be done correctly. Finding the right equipment
will set the stage for any Sulphur handling facility.

Enersul remelting technology has been safely and effectively remelting Sulphur for over
thirty years, and the technology is constantly being improved.

REDUCE HYDROGREN
SULPHIDE (H2S)
Enersul's patented HYSPECTM Degassing Process uses a gas-liquid contractor which utilizes
a series of small reactors and a select catalyst to reduce the H2S content of liquid Sulphur to
less than 5 ppm in a matter of minutes. The end result is improved formed product friability
and increased solid Sulphur strength.
