In an ideal natural draft urea prilling tower, molten droplets fall, cool air rises, and prills solidify – but what happens when airflow at the tower base is disturbed? Small adjustments can have big consequences.

We report on selected keynote and commercial presentations from CRU’s 2026 Phosphates+Potash Expoconference.

Multiphase multiphysics simulation-based analysis of an industrial-scale Claus catalytic reactor predicts improved performance resulting from the inclusion of inlet flow deflection plates.

With the delivery of ten sulphuric acid pumps and a mobile tank drainage pump for a large zinc smelter in Central Asia, Rheinhütte Pumpen highlights its expertise in handling highly concentrated sulphuric acid – from alloy development and engineering to comprehensive testing on one of the most advanced pump test stands in the world.

Liquid sulphur is a critical industrial feedstock, but its safe transfer is technically demanding. Dickow Pumpen maintains that reliable handling depends on a whole-system approach – integrating heating, piping, sealing, and operating procedures.

In sulphur handling facilities, deviations in product consistency are often an indication of issues impacting not only the quality of end product, but also the production process itself. In this article, IPCO explains why shape and quality really do matter.

Sulphur recovery units in petroleum refineries and natural gas processing plants utilise incineration as a final treatment step for tail gas, ensuring that residual sulphur compounds are converted to less harmful emissions. Elmo Nasato of Nasato Consulting Ltd compares the two sulphur plant incinerator options – thermal incineration and catalytic incineration – including key considerations for policymakers, businesses, and environmental advocates.

Cover story! CASALE's Gabriele Marcon outlines how integrated fertilizer production can support global food security.

Kent Martin and Rafael Garcia-Martinez outline how elemental sulphur can benefit the agronomic performance of fertilizers and logistical efficiency.

We talk to Curt Snyder of Lancaster Products and Ian Hancock of Bradley Pulverizer ahead of CRU's Phosphates+Potash Expoconference in Paris in April.
