European sulphur and sulphuric acid marketer and distributor Aglobis, part of Japan's Mitsui, announced on 21 January the successful completion of the extended basic engineering phase for its 400,000 t/yr capacity sulphur remelter project in Duisburg, Germany, in December 2025.
Aglobis also highlights other milestones reached for the project — securing the utilities including power, gas and water, as well as completion of geotechnical surveys and soil analyses.
The release also outlines the conclusion of the basic plant design, setting in stone the overall layout including the three modal logistic design for product movements via barge, rail and truck.
Aglobis previously announced in January 2025 an early work agreement with Engie Deutschland for energy provision for its planned remelter.
This was followed by a subsequent release of the signing of an extended basic agreement with engineering service provider ECM in early April.
