Sulphur Storage: Factors affecting losses during its storage & handling


Sulphur Storage:

Large quantities of sulphur are transported, stored, handled & comsumed as an additive in cement industry. Various storage methods are required to ensure that the sulphur is not contaminated & it doesn't damage equipment from corrosion, fires, etc. The stored sulphur usually exist in larger pieces & posses many sharp edges due to irregularity in shapes which can be easily broken into its smaller particles.

Factors affecting losses of sulphur during its storage & handling:

Being a brittle material, sulphur is easily degraded during its handling procedures. Minimum Losses will occur during the loading/unloading, transportation of sulphur due to the creation of airborne dust. The losses that occurs during its handling depends upon the following factors:

·Form of sulphur being handled
·Ambient Environmental conditions (i.e. wind speed and direction)
·Handling procedures/methods
·Exposure to air, sunlight and rain

            Indoor bulk storage of sulphur is recommeded in order to minimize losses and contamination of sulphur. One of the premier and well-versed entity as sulphur storage shed manufacturer in india, Hindustan Alcox Limited has a vast experience of 30 years in creating sulphur dome & suphur storage shed. Providing storage & handling of sulphur storage, these world-class structures minimizes the issues to be faced in storage & handling of its bulk storage.

Best preventive measures for sustaining energy efficiency for sulphur storage

Additive storage:

The prime use of additive is to enhance the properties of mortar that has taken place for many centuries. In big cement plants, Additive storage (like Sulphur, Phosphorus etc) in bulk is carried out and added to subject material to improve its inherit properties, performance, efficiency and reduce cost.


Sulphur Storage:
For Industrial Purpose, Large quantities of sulphur are stored, transported, handled, melted and comsumed annually. Sulphur storage can be done in many forms which vary in their friability and mechanical strength. If required, the Sulphur is then crushed from larger pieces, producing smaller particles and dust.


Best preventive measures for sustainance of energy efficiency for sulphur storage:
Energy Efficiency plays a significant role in meeting the challenges by improving the operating capabilities and also augment the performance of existing transmission and distribution materials. Preventive measures which can be realized at best for sustaining overall energy efficiency are as follows:
  • Implementation of an energy efficiency management system
  • Benchmarking
  • Energy efficient design (EED)
  • Process integration
  • Expertise and know-how gains on energy efficiency
  • Effective control, maintenance and monitoring of installations

Sulphur storage shed, engineered by Hindustan Alcox Limited is a practically feasible and turnkey solution to cover stockpile for the most challenging environment. In addition to barrel vault structure, Sulphur Dome is also an appropriate choice for storing additives and covers large span to facilitate the storage of various other additives under same shed. Hindustan Alcox Limited has expertise in customizing the Sulphur Stockpile Shed after practically emphasizing the durability, strength and technical feasibility of structure with optimum space utilization.
