Our story

Safe Sulphur was founded in 2003 to bring our experience in sulphur bentonite fertilizer production to clients that are interested in building new fertilizer plants or adding the sulphur bentonite process to their existing operations.The company quickly expanded into consulting roles on large scale international sulphur handling / export projects with major Oil and Gas and Engineering Companies.

Safe Sulphur grew into a multi-disciplined engineering company completing many sulphur studies, pre-conceptual plant designs, Front End Engineering Designs and PMC roles. Many of the people in the company had sulphur plant operations backgrounds and we decided to utilize that experience to provide audits, commissioning and start up Site Services to our clients that were operating and building sulphur handling facilities.

After several years of providing consulting and engineering services, the company began to develop products for the sulphur industry. These products comprise pastillators, jacketed filters & strainers, jacketed sulphur pumps, screw conveyors, contaminated sulphur remelters, sulphur dust collection and separation packages, H2S scrubbing systems and the list continues to expand.

The next natural step was to combine the engineering the products and the site services to provide complete turnkey sulphur bentonite fertilizer plants with long term operations management. We are the worlds number one provider of sulphur bentonite expertise.
