Sulphur
Sulphur is a byproduct from processing sour natural gas and crude oil. The term `sour,` as applied to gas and oil, refers to hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Sulphur is produced when the sour portion of natural gas and crude oil, H2S, is recovered and converted into elemental sulphur.
Husky is a major producer of recovered sulphur and one of the largest traders of elemental sulphur on world markets. Domestic and international customers use liquid and formed sulphur primarily in fertilizer production, mining applications and the production of various chemicals.
Husky produces sulphur at a number of gas plants in Alberta and British Columbia, as well as its upgrader at Lloydminster, Saskatchewan and its refinery in Lima, Ohio. It markets its proprietary sulphur production, as well as third-party production, directly to customers in North America and internationally.
