Core offering

Enersul designs, manufactures, and services industrial sulphur forming and handling equipment including granulators, wet formers, remelters, degassers, and block pouring systems for oil refineries and natural gas processing plants globally. The company also operates sulphur handling facilities on behalf of clients through long-term contract operations, controlling over 3 million tonnes of annual capacity through 8 Western Canadian operations. Aftermarket parts, field services, and engineering consulting complement the equipment portfolio for end-to-end sulphur processing lifecycle support.

Product overview

Enersul offers a comprehensive portfolio of industrial sulphur forming and handling equipment as a unified platform of technologies. The core product family includes three granulator models (GXM1, GXM1 NEXGEN, GXM3) using the proprietary GX granulation process for producing spherical sulphur granules, and three WetPrill formers (WetPrill, Mini WetPrill, WetPrill 2000) for wet sulphur pelletizing. Supporting equipment includes the ModEx Remelter, HCSR Melter, and HEM High Efficiency Melter for melting solid sulphur, the HYSPEC Degasser for H2S removal, and the Pro-Pivot Block Pouring System for block formation. The SafeFoam Transfer System (STS) provides dust suppression for material handling. These products share common engineering platforms and serve the complete sulphur processing lifecycle from forming through handling and storage.

Products and services

• GXM1 Granulator The most prolific sulphur forming method worldwide, producing spherical, dry granules (2-6mm diameter) at 1200 TPD through a size-enlargement coating and cooling process in a rotating drum. Accounts for over 50% of global forming capacity and is sold to oil refineries, gas plants, and sulphur producers worldwide.
• GXM1 NEXGEN Granulator A next-generation modular single-pass sulphur granulator with 1500 TPD capacity. The modular design reduces construction costs and commissioning time while requiring a smaller footprint (17.0m x 11.0m x 7.3m) and consuming less utilities (165 kW connected) than the standard GXM1.
• GXM3 Granulator The world's first and only portable modular sulphur forming unit, producing up to 1200 TPD. Pre-assembled on two skids (90% complete), it features short startup/shutdown times, no stainless steel belts, and no central release agent system, reducing capital and operating costs.
• WetPrill Former Sulphur forming process operational since 1978 that uses cooling water to solidify droplets of molten sulphur into uniform spherical pellets with low friability and moisture content. Produces up to 25-50 TPH with 98% uptime.
• Mini WetPrill Former A compact version of the WetPrill sulphur forming technology designed for smaller production requirements.
• WetPrill 2000 Former An advanced WetPrill sulphur wet forming unit introduced in 2016 for higher capacity operations.
• STS Safefoam Transfer System A dust suppression system that uses a water-chemical foam mixture (100:1 ratio) to coat sulphur fines at transfer points, creating a safer and more environmentally friendly handling operation. Modular design arrives 90% pre-assembled.
• Pro-Pivot Block Pouring System A custom block pouring system for transforming molten sulphur into solid blocks for storage and transport. Includes structural steel towers, pneumatic valves, pouring arms, and control systems.
• ModEx Remelter A modular sulphur remelter with external heating at 750 TPD capacity. Designed for difficult remelting situations including high moisture and contaminated feedstocks. Features filtration system and external heat exchanger.
• HCSR Melter High Contaminated Sulphur Remelter designed for sites with sulphur-contaminated soil. Reduces disposal volumes by up to 90%, converts contaminated soil into saleable molten feedstock, and reduces environmental contamination risk.
• HEM High Efficiency Melter
• HYSPEC Degasser
• GXLab Granulator A working replica of Enersul's GX Granulator installed at the Calgary head office for in-house customer trials, enabling customers to test specific product forming needs before procurement.
• Sulphur Handling Contract Operations Long-term contract operations managing sulphur handling facilities on behalf of clients. Enersul owns and operates facilities and also operates third-party owned plants, currently managing 8 sulphur handling operations in Western Canada with combined capacity exceeding 3 million tonnes annually.
• Aftermarket Parts and Support Services Supply of OEM replacement parts, field services, engineering and consulting support, analytical services, and R&D support for sulphur processing operations globally.
