Sulphur
Elemental sulphur for sulphuric acid production, fertiliser manufacturing and industrial use.
Product Overview
Sulphur is an industrial commodity recovered from oil and gas processing and other sources. A major use is the production of sulphuric acid, which supports phosphate fertiliser manufacture and numerous industrial processes. It sits alongside our energy products as a distinct commodity.
Grades & Specification
Commercial specifications describe chemical purity, impurities and physical form. Granular, prilled and other forms have different handling characteristics.
| Characteristic | Reference Basis | Product Relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Sulphur Content | Purity on a stated basis | The test basis distinguishes dry product from as-received material. |
| Moisture | Specified maximum | Water content affects handling and delivered dry product. |
| Ash & Organic Matter | Specified impurity limits | Impurities influence suitability for downstream processes. |
| Acidity | Defined test basis | Acidity is one of the chemical quality characteristics. |
| Physical Form | Granular, prilled or other form | Product form affects storage and material handling. |
| Particle Size & Fines | Size distribution | Physical consistency is relevant to bulk handling and dust. |
A specification framework is shown here. No universal purity or current cargo specification is implied; limits relate to the agreed product.
Chemical Quality and Physical Form
Purity is central to sulphur quality, while moisture, particle size and fines influence practical performance in storage and handling. The most useful specification describes both the chemical and physical characteristics.
