About the Event

MEScon is intended to ‘connect the dots’ – to maximize utilization of current local experience and expertise via networking and to provide access to the knowledge and resources of the global sulphur community. The goal is to foster enduring, cooperative relationships between sour gas and sulphur plant operators across the UAE, the Middle East and the world. The agenda will have a strong technical focus, supplemented by scene setting presentations led by CRU analysts and industry thought-leaders covering sulphur market dynamics and the role of sulphur in the energy transition.  

The technical agenda content will be guided by the Executive Committee of industry experts. The focus of the technical agenda is to promote discussion and knowledge sharing in support of continual improvements in HSE, reliability, efficiency and general best practices in the production of sour gas and sulphur.


The Middle East, and in particular, Abu Dhabi, are at the epicentre of global sulphur and sour hydrocarbon production, making this the ideal location


Devoted to exploring best practice operations across the entire sour gas and sulphur value chain.


Join the debate this May to share know-how and best practice with industry peers


MEScon is where the sulphur  and sour gas community meet to discuss and debate the key strategic themes  driving the industry

Subjects covered will include:

  • Sulphur recovery in the context of the Energy Transition
  • Sour gas production challenges and best practices
  • SRU/TGTU operational best practices
  • SRU/TGTU energy efficiency
  • SRU/TGTU corrosion and long-term integrity

  • Increased recovery efficiency for legacy SRUs
  • Non-sulphur emissions from SRUs – CO2, CO, NOx
  • Sulphur handling best practices
  • Long-term sulphur supply/demand outlook
