New sulphur pastillation and storage
system
Sandvik will upgrade the existing sulphur solidification system at the Statoil facility in Mongstad, Norway, to a new Sandvik pastillation system with eight 250 cu.m storage silos
The existing plant was supplied by Sandvik over 20 years ago and consists of sulphur solidification in flake form, conveying systems, silos and truck loading system in addition to the complete plant control and instrumentation system Designed to fully comply with all the latest environmental regulations required under Norwegian legislation, the new system will be manufactured and installed to a tight time schedule that will see completion by October 2008, as part of a much larger project

Main contractor on the project is Aker Kvaerner.
Sandvik is responsible for planning, supply, modification and installation of the new plant which will incorporate all the latest technology to fully satisfy the operational and environmental engineering conditions.
Once completed, the plant will solidify the sulphur into pastilles which will be transported by a new conveying and filling system to eight 250 m3 storage silos, doubling the original on-site storage facility and then on to a new truck loading system.
All new, state-of-the-art control and instrumentation systems will be installed as part of the contract in line with current oil and gas industry regulations and to fully meet the exacting requirements of Statoil.
Installation of the new solidification plant will take place alongside the existing line and part of the challenging nature of the installation is to ensure that there is no interruption of the current process, other than short scheduled breaks.
The aim is to achieve a trouble-free changeover from the old to the new process without any disruption during the agreed timeframe.
Once the new installation is complete, transfer of the sulphur solidification and storage operation to the new line will be carried out by pushing a single button.
