• The merchant market for sulphuric acid - Short term supply constraints are dominating acid markets at present, but increasing smelter production across Asia may lead to oversupply in the longer term.
   
• India’s sulphur and sulphuric acid industries - India’s phosphate production is using increasing volumes of sulphuric acid, but new domestic smelter.
   
• The market for ammonium sulphate - Continuing growth in Chinese ammonium sulphate production is leading to a continuing flood of exports, as greater awareness of the utility of sulphur as a fertilizer leads to increasing global demand.
   
• Industrial demand for sulphur dioxide - Beyond its use in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, sulphur dioxide also has many industrial uses, especially in the food, paper, pharmaceutical and refining industries.
   
• The importance of cryogenic distillation technologies - As the oil and gas industry focus on new requirements for CO₂ recovery, cryogenic processes come under the spotlight. RATE USA discusses the importance of cryogenic processes in acid gas sweetening. Liquefied H₂S and CO₂ reinjection is proposed as a cost effective alternative to large sulphur plants.
   
• Advanced feed gas control by detecting BTEX in SRU feed gas - The development and implementation of modern process instruments and control systems in sulphur recovery units has increased significantly over the last decade. AMETEK discusses the impact of BTEX on sulphur plant operations and how BTEX concentrations can be measured.
   
• Sulphur degassing systems for large scale sulphur recovery units - Fluor discusses degassing units for large scale SRUs, evaluating the pros and cons of various available commercial technologies and focussing on how technology can lower degassing capex via economy of scale for new facilities or existing facilities undergoing expansion.
   
• Rejuvenation of a vintage SRU - In this revamp case study Wood demonstrates how sulphur technology was implemented at a 46-year old refinery SRU to improve reliability, operability and performance to meet new requirements for increased throughput and higher availability.
   
• 60 years in the sulphuric acid industry - For six decades, Chemetics has been a pioneering force in sulphuric acid design and equipment. This article dives into Chemetics’ rich history and key innovations that have shaped and moulded the sulphuric acid industry.
