Advantages
of the Omni-Drop Process for Sulphur Bentonite
and Sulphur Forming
Process
• Flexibility - very easy to switch from product to
product with minimal
downtime product waste (i.e. offspec product generation)
• Heat transfer - indirect, no contact between product
and cooling medium
• Crystallization - well defined cooling time
• Product quality - controllable through cooling time/belt
speed, sulphur
temperature, and sulphur pressure
• Environment - low sound and dust emission; use of
a closed cooling water
system means no contamination of water
Utilities
• Low electricity consumption (no natural gas for cooling)
• Low water consumption (typically cooling water is recirculated)
• Low compressed air and instrument air consumption
Equipment
• Low weights and small dimensions of components, as a result:
o small foundations required
o simple lifting devices for erection
Maintenance
• Easy maintenance during operation
• Essential components accessible from the floor without auxiliary
equipment
• Few, light and easily mountable spare parts
• Quick start-up of plant for reduced downtime
• Reduced staff requirements
