ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus used in the melting of sulphur, the method being the application of thermal energy to melt a block of sulphur comprising the steps of positioning a melter head having a series of spaced heater elements associated therewith above the area of sulphur block to be melted; maintaining the skin tempera- ture of the heater elements in the range of 350°F to 420°F; and lowering said melter head into the sulphur block. The method also contemplates the lowering of the melter head into the sulphur block at a minimum applied pressure of .22lb/sprare inch; and also contemplates the use of heater elements arranged in at least two vertically spaced rows where the elements in the upper row are positioned above the spaces between the elements in the lower row; the method also contemplates the use of side melter elements associated with the melter head lowered into the block after the heater elements for melting a portion of the sulphur block left behind by the heater elements; the method also contemplates the use of side melter elements and are sloped downwardly and inwardly towards the center of the melter head. The apparatus involves particularly a melter head for supplying thermal energy to melt a block of sulphur in situ comprising a plurality of heater elements spaced apart in at least two substantially vertically spaced rows, the heater elements in the upper row being positioned above the spaces between said elements in the lower row, means for heating said heater elements to a skin temperature in the range of 350°F to 420°F, and means for lowering said melter head into the sulphur block. The apparatus also involves provision of the means for lowering said melter head where there is a minimum applied pressure of .22 lb/square inch.
