Sulphur and Sulphuric Acid Technical Sessions
If the commercial sessions tell us where the market is heading, the technical sessions tell us how we will get there — safely, reliably, efficiently, and sustainably. Behind every tonne of sulphur recovered and every tonne of acid produced lies a sophisticated ecosystem of process design, catalyst chemistry, equipment integrity, environmental stewardship, and operational excellence. As our industry faces tightening emissions standards, decarbonisation imperatives, ageing assets, and the rapid emergence of digital and AI-enabled operations, the technical agenda has never been more central to commercial success.
These sessions bring together engineers and industry experts from operators, equipment producers, technology licensors, EPC’s, and researchers who are advancing plant operations and innovation — sharing hard-won operational lessons, presenting next-generation designs, and shaping the technical foundations of a more sustainable industry.
Our technical programme is structured around the following themes:
Core Process Chemistry and Product Streams:
- Sulphuric Acid, Oleum, and Sulphur Trioxide
- Sulphur and Sulphur Dioxide
Economic and Regulatory Landscape
We will then turn to the policy and economic forces redrawing the rules of trade:
- EU Policies and Carbon Costs Update
- CBAM — implications on fertilizer flow, sulphur and acid demand
- Understanding Premiums
Plant Performance, Reliability and Operations
- Sulphur and Sulphuric Acid Plant Performance — catalysts and emissions
- Sulphur Recovery Processes and Sulphur Plant Operations — best practices, reliability, and troubleshooting
- Sulphur Handling — safety, integrity, and innovation
Environmental Compliance and Emissions Management
- Environmental Compliance — regulations, emissions monitoring and management
Design, Equipment and Revamps
- Sulphur Plant Design and Equipment
- Sulphuric Acid Plant Design and Equipment
- Revamping — for capacity increase, improved energy efficiency, and sustainability
Supply Chain and Materials Handling
- Supply and Logistics — storage and transportation
Digitalisation and Industry 4.0
- Industry 4.0 — digitalisation, process control and monitoring, automation, instrumentation, and the use of AI
Decarbonisation, Energy Transition and Sustainability
- Decarbonisation of the Sulphur and Sulphuric Acid Industry
- Energy Transition and Future Fuels
- Sustainability — alternative feedstocks and future technology solutions
Across these themes, you will hear from operators sharing real-world troubleshooting experience, technology providers unveiling the latest advances in catalysts, equipment, and digital tools, and researchers exploring the pathways that will decarbonise our processes and extend asset life. Whether your focus is delivering more reliability out of an existing unit, designing the next greenfield plant, meeting tightening emissions limits, or preparing your operations for an AI-enabled future, there is content here designed to inform and challenge your thinking.
Full agenda will be announced in the due time.
