Other Sulfur Technologies

As an integral part of the contract to pelletize sulfur and market it from Saudi Arabia, Devco was responsible for devising a program to reclaim, remelt, pelletize, and market more than 700,000 tonnes of sulfur which had been formed in large storage vats at Shedgum. The sulfur at the base of the storage vats was contaminated, and Devco developed processes to purify the vat bottoms, removing dirt, sand, gravel and hydrocarbons, to thereby produce sulfur meeting commercial specifications. Devco offers these purification processes to eliminate environmental problems where storage areas must be cleaned up.

Devco has also developed a unique process for the production of ammonium thiosulfate and is looking at the application of this technology in other processes. Devco is also developing processes to pelletize non-sulfur products, such as heavy oil by-products.

Devco is always interested in pursuing any project where its engineering, financing, operational and management skills may be utilized.
