CONFERENCE + EXHIBITION PREVIEW

Sulphur + Sulphuric Acid 2024 Conference

Join us at the CRU Sulphur + Sulphuric Acid 2024 Conference and Exhibition in Barcelona, 4-6 November, for a global gathering of the sulphur and sulphuric acid community. Meet leading market and technology experts and producers, network, share knowledge, and learn about market trends and the latest developments in operations, process technology and equipment.

The Sulphur + Sulphuric Acid 2024 Conference and Exhibition takes place at the Hyatt Regency Barcelona Tower in Barcelona 4-6 November. This year marks the 40th year of the Sulphur conference and features the most comprehensive agenda yet.

The opening session of the main agenda brings together industry leaders to discuss sustainability initiatives and strategies for decarbonising the sector. Focusing on the integration of digitalisation, strategic advancements in production, and global collaboration, this session aims to shape a more sustainable and efficient sulphur and sulphuric acid supply chain, crucial for the evolving green economy.

The market outlooks agenda has been extended with expert insights from CRU’s analysis teams on major supply and demand markets, including sulphur and sulphuric acid, plus additional industry updates from key players from across the supply chain.

On the agenda this year, leading producers from around the globe, alongside technology and technical experts will be sharing operational best practices and insights to improve plant operations. The comprehensive technical programme is split into two parallel streams, a sulphur track and a sulphuric acid track, and will provide updates on the production and processing of sulphur and sulphuric acid, with presentations covering new innovations in processes, technology, materials and equipment developments, as well as practical case studies highlighting operational experience and improvements. Sulphur and sulphuric acid troubleshooting clinics, panel discussions and technical showcases will extend the opportunities to learn about best practices, lessons learned and the latest technologies and innovations.

This year’s conference will once again be co-located with RefComm Europe.

Latest in Decarbonisation

Decarbonisation in the sulphuric acid industry

New concepts focused on the transfer and combination of existing sulphur and sulphuric acid technologies to support decarbonisation of the sulphuric acid industry are being investigated. In this article three research projects are discussed: sulphur dioxide depolarised electrolysis for green regeneration of spent acid, use of renewable heat and catalyst to the splitting process from sulphuric acid to SO2 for reduction of fossil fuel consumption, and sulphur as an energy vector.

Optimising European SRU incinerators

The 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction goals in the European Union are driving oil and gas producers to reduce CO2 emissions wherever possible. This extends to even the incinerator attached to a sulphur recovery unit (SRU). In this article Sulphur Experts review the role of the incinerator, how the three most common European TGUs each affect the demand on the incinerator itself, and the potential reduction in CO2 emissions for a generic facility of each type.

Decarbonisation of the maritime industry

As the industry pushes towards more sustainable practices, ammonia is emerging as a promising alternative fuel for ships. Effective management of by-product NOx, NH3 and N2 O emissions from the combustion of ammonia is crucial to the success of ammonia as an alternative fuel. A new catalyst has been developed by Enercat to treat these three molecules in one bed. Jean-Rémi Stephany and Emmanuel Rohart of Enercat – Alsys Group report on this new technology which has been developed in marine ammonia combustion engine conditions.
