Viviana Alavardo, CRU Sulphur and Sulphuric Acid Analyst, examines how China's 2026 sulphuric acid export suspension removed an estimated 2.8 million tonnes from trade, deepening sulphur shortages. Prices have eased since May but remain historically high amid limited replacement supply.
KVT Technology compares its OXYSULF process with a conventional sulphur recovery unit, assessing emissions, energy efficiency and performance for refineries and industrial sites pursuing lower costs and stronger environmental compliance.
HUGO PETERSEN marks 120 years of sulphuric acid innovation, showcasing integrated, low-emission technologies that maximise heat recovery, energy utilisation and operational flexibility across sulphuric acid and sulphur dioxide production.
CS Combustion Solutions outlines retrofit options that use improved atomisation, air-side mixing and modular burner inserts to boost sulphur furnace reliability, flexibility and capacity with minimal equipment changes.
IPCO traces 125 years of innovation from Sweden's first steel belt conveyor to Rotoform pastillation and high-capacity drum granulation, advancing reliable sulphur solidification for global refining and gas processing industries.
Elessent Clean Technologies explains how rigorous sampling, Certificate of Analysis scrutiny and cross-functional coordination help sulphur buyers manage contamination, acidity and supply quality risks in tightening markets.
QMax Industries explains why engineered heat tracing is vital to keep molten sulphur safe, preventing solidification, blockages, overpressure, toxic vapours and ignition hazards.
CRU welcomes you to the 2026 Sulphur+Sulphuric Acid 2026 Conference and Exhibition at the Estrel in Berlin 3-5 November. Join us for a truly global gathering of the sulphur and sulphuric acid community, where leading market and technology experts and producers will gather to connect, share knowledge, exchange ideas and learn about market trends and the latest developments in operations, technology, processes and equipment.
Russia's sulphur supply is under renewed pressure after another Ukrainian strike hit the Astrakhan gas processing plant, a facility vital to the country's fertilizer industry and responsible for over 60% of its sulphur output.
Brazil’s National Association for the Diffusion of Fertilizers (ANDA) has proposed an emergency $375 million subsidy to shield farmers from soaring sulphur prices. The proposal was presented to the government during the International Brazil Congress in São Paulo on 25 August.
