Sulphur Storage: Factors Affecting Losses During its Storage & Handling

Sulphur Storage:

Large quantities of sulphur are transported, handled & consumed as an additive in cement industry and it is stored in sulphur storage sheds. 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 recommended 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 & sulphur 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.
