Producer of Liquid SO2 Strengthens and Expands Capacity

Calabrian Corporation (USA), the largest prime producer of liquid sulfur dioxide and related derivatives in North America, announced today that it will expand by 50% the production of SO2 at the Port Neches, Texas plant. The multimillion dollar expansion is expected to be online by the end of the year.

The expansion utilises Calabrian’s proprietary SO2CLEAN technology. The technology, which burns sulfur in pure oxygen, enables production that is highly reliable, free of SOX and NOX emissions and expandable on a modular basis, and is therefore economically superior to a sulfur burner. These characteristics speed permitting, allow rapid expansion, and make SO2CLEAN ideal for in situ production.

The driver behind the expansion is Calabrian’s strategy of strengthening its leading position in SO2 and derivatives. “We view this proactive step as an investment in our customers and the industries we serve,” said Randy Owens, President and CEO. “We are excited about this capacity expansion. It will allow Calabrian to achieve growth targets in applications such as water treatment, oil and gas, and mining.”
