PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PREPARATION OF SULFUR FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION Abstract of the Disclosure A process and apparatus for producing solid, irregular shaped sulfur nuggets from molten sulfur. The method includes the steps of: flowing the molten sulfur in a feed system where the temperature of the sulfur is controlled within a desired range; flowing the sulfur to a processing unit where the sulfur is dis- charged in ribbon-like streams into a body of water which solidi- fies the sulfur into irregular solid nuggets, depositing the sulfur on a conveyor in the processing unit; and moving the solid- ified sulfur nuggets from the processing unit on the conveyor to storage or transport facilities. One form of feed system has a receiving tank system including several interconnected tanks pro- vided with steam coils in the sides and bottoms for maintaining the molten sulfur at a temperature above the level at which it solidifies. Another form of feed system is a serpentine-shaped conduit through which liquid sulfur flows from a heated storage container such as a tank car to the processing unit. The proces- sing unit which forms the liquid sulfur into the irregular sulfur nuggets for improved handling and storage includes a water res- ervoir, a discharge or distributor head for flowing the liquid sulfur into the water, and a conveyor for receiving and removing the sulfur nuggets from the water. A number of different forms of distributor heads are disclosed, each of which discharges one or more ribbon-like streams of liquid sulfur into the water reser- voir. In one form of system the discharge head introduces the ribbon-like streams of sulfur into the reservoir under the water surface. In another form of the system, the discharge head drops the liquid sulfur through an air space above the water into the water. In the method carried out with each form of the disclosed apparatus, the ribbon-like streams of sulfur fragment and solidify within the water reservoir forming sulfur nuggets of irregular shape and size which may be efficiently handled and stored.
