South America’s nitrogen industry
South America has become the largest importing region for nitrogen fertilizers, with Brazil overtaking India as the world’s largest urea importer. While there have been attempts to use local gas to develop a domestic nitrogen industry, these have faced challenges on a number of fronts.
Nitrate wastes as a source of ammonia
The past few years have seen a rapid increase in attempts to generate ammonia from streams of nitrate polluted wastewater, but how practical are these methods?
Demand for nitric acid
Nitric acid demand continues to be dominated by fertilizer uses via various nitrate and NPK fertilizers, but industrial chemical production, metallurgical uses and explosives production are continuing to contribute to growth, especially in Asia.
Battery materials driving sulphur consumption growth
In this CRU Insight, Peter Harrisson reports on how battery materials have become a powerful driver of sulphur consumption growth.
Unlock the true potential of your SRU
Fluor explores the versatile potential of oxygen enrichment for various revamp and debottlenecking opportunities.
Best practices in SRU steam and condensate handling
QMax Industries explains why effective steam and condensate management is essential to the performance, safety, and reliability of sulphur recovery units.
A small component with a big impact
CS Combustion Solutions introduces the SR-P sulphur atomiser nozzle to the sulphuric acid process, combining the high-quality atomisation of ultrasonic systems with the affordability and simplicity of pressure atomisers.
SulGas® Kuala Lumpur 2025
