Lump Sulphur Supplier in Egypt — 99.5% S, Mining & Refinery Grade
Sulphur — granular, prilled and lump grades with guaranteed purity, ash and acidity
Egypt Globe Group trades recovered sulphur — a co-product of natural-gas processing and oil refining — sourced from Uzbekistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq and other origins; the origin and the loading port are stated on each offer. Three grades are supplied — bright-yellow granular ≥ 99.9 % S for sulphuric-acid plants, prilled ≥ 99.8 % S for Asian acid plants and blending, and lump ≥ 99.5 % S for mining and refinery use — in bulk vessels, 1 MT FIBC and 25 kg PP bags.
Acid plants specify sulphur on three numbers: purity, ash and acidity. Ash above 0.05 % fouls burners and catalyst beds; acidity corrodes melters and handling lines; moisture above 0.5 % raises dust and handling losses. Many regional suppliers certify purity alone. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division, at the nucleus of the group since 2014, runs purity, ash, acidity, moisture and sieve analysis on every lot at the loading port and issues the CoA before the B/L. Lots outside specification are rejected at the port — never re-graded, never renegotiated.

Shipping classification (IMDG / IMSBC)
Granular 99.9 % and prilled 99.8 % — formed sulphur
IMDG Code (packaged)Not subject to the Code — special provision 242 exempts sulphur formed to a specific shape (prills, granules, pellets, pastilles, flakes)IMSBC Code (bulk)SULPHUR (formed, solid) — Group CLump 99.5 %

The Safety Data Sheet ships with every consignment; for lump cargoes the shipper's dangerous-goods declaration is issued as well. Fines and dust raise the fire risk of any sulphur cargo, which is why the fines limit (< 1 mm ≤ 2 % on granular) is part of the contract specification.
