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
