New Plants in Sarakhs to Help Complete Sulfur Value Chain

Two factories have been inaugurated at Shahid Soleimani Sulfur Complex in the northeastern Sarakhs County, Khorasan Razavi Province, to reduce raw sulfur sales and convert lump sulfur into more valuable forms.
With the launch of the new factories, constructed at a cost of $15 million, four factories are operating at the complex to help complete the sulfur value chain, the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana reported.
The factories, financed by the private sector, include a plant to produce sulfur bentonite with a capacity of 72,000 tons a year, and another plant to produce granular sulfur with an annual capacity of 150,000 tons.
