Pre-Conference Workshops at MEScon 2025

On 19 May there will be three pre-conference workshops for registered conference delegates. These in-depth sessions look at specific topics, with attendee numbers capped to aid interaction and facilitate learning.

Workshop 1 - Steam And Heating Considerations in Sulfur Plants

09:00 - 12:30

Join CSI Ametek for an engaging 4-hour workshop led by experienced industry professionals, designed to deepen participants’ understanding of steam heating systems and process heating technologies.

The session will begin with an introduction to steam heating theory, followed by a detailed look at steam tracing technologies and the thermal requirements for various applications, including liquid sulfur, tail gas, sour water acid gas, sulfur vapor sweep air, and sulfur storage tanks/vessels.

The instructors will also cover key steam system topics such as steam distribution (supply headers), steam user supply/return, condensate return, and the theory behind steam trap operation, along with insights into steam load estimation.

To conclude, instructors will share real-world “war stories” involving undetected corrosion and the challenges that arise during upset conditions, such as run-down plugging, quenching, process mixing, re-boiling, cold spots and supports, and circuitry mistakes. This workshop is ideal for SRU professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and gain practical insights from an industry expert.

 

Workshop 2 – Navigating Sulphur Recovery Challenges – A Choose Your Own Adventure Workshop

09:00 - 12:30

Experts for an interactive workshop where participants will decide which of the most common sulfur recovery issues will be addressed:  

·      Operations and Emissions
·      Corrosion
·      Plugging
·      Fires, Overheating and Explosi
ons
·      Process Gas / Fluid Release  

This will be based on real-world examples of helping hundreds of clients, though attendees are encouraged to share their own story with any of these topics, preferably with a picture (no shame!) so we can apply the group’s knowledge and our experience in an interactive format to ensure everyone leaves with valuable insights and practical solutions to improve their sulphur plant reliability.

Workshop 3 - Middle East Sulphur Summit: Expert Insights on Forming & Handling

09:00 - 12:30

Join us for an engaging and informative workshop exploring key aspects of sulphur forming, handling, and logistics. This session will feature a series of short presentations from industry experts, followed by interactive discussions and Q&A. Attendees will gain insights into the latest technologies, best practices, and solutions for optimizing sulphur product processing and transportation.

Topics & Presenters:

- 09:00 – 09:10 - Introductions
- 09:10 – 09:40 - Sulphur Forming - Granulation (Enersul)
- 09:40 – 10:10 - Sulphur Forming - Pastillation/Granulation (IPCO)
