CRU Sulphur+Sulphuric Acid has a well-deserved reputation as an essential annual knowledge sharing and professional development forum for the global sulphur and sulphuric acid community. We will work closely with the technical steering committee of industry experts to develop the dual-stream technical programme comprised of topics related to process design, materials, equipment and instrumentation developments, as well as best practices in operation and maintenance.
