Presentation at
The Sulphur Institute as part of the Sulphur World
Symposium The non-ferrous metals industries have always been indirect contributors to the sulphur industry as producers of sulphuric acid. 10-15 years ago increasing environmental concerns led to higher collection rates of sulphur dioxide at metal producers’ smelters which undoubtedly contributed to the weak market conditions for acid at the time. Now that most smelters capture at least 95% of the sulphur in the feed, increases in acid production from smelters are largely due to overall metal production increases. In fact, with more metal being produced from acid consuming oxide ores than previously, is the net contribution to the acid industry actually declining? This is discussed, but with the new nickel laterite projects’ voracious demand for acid being satisfied by on-site sulphur burning acid plants, the impact may in fact be felt more strongly on the sulphur markets. |

Following this CWA have helped to obtain the release of the shipment by ensuring that it is properly processed to kill the bacteria. This expertise can be equally valid for human foods and food ingredients. Further details on the CWA International Food Department can be found here. |

CWA was instructed to perform a specialist input concerning due diligence for the potential acquisition by a blue chip listed company of a multinational producing a range of well-known processed food products. The brief concerned itself with a class action in the United States alleging that repeated consumption of the processed food induces allergic reactions and increases the occurrence of food intolerance reactions. Details on the CWA International Food Department can be found here. |

Palm Nut shell, once a forgotten by-product of the palm oil trade, is now being carried in bulk to be used in Europe as an alternative source of fuel. Under certain circumstances the cargo is prone to self-heating but is not, as yet, listed in the IMDG Code. In the latter part of 2004, CWA was commissioned by a major European commodity trader to attend and investigate a shipment which exhibited hot cargo problems at load port and to conduct further research to explain the phenomenon and to advise on procedures for safe carriage at sea. More information about the food department is available, here. |

During 2004, CWA was retained by leading U.S. Attorneys representing Lloyds underwriters to provide expert technical analysis of oil movements following a major dislocation incident which impacted on refinery operations over a period of 2 years. CWA marshalled a 3-man multi-disciplinary team comprising Anthony Severn – tanker operations and terminal oil movements John Wolfe-Barry – shipping logistics and berth occupancy issues Peter Jones – refinery process operations A great deal had to be achieved in a very short time scale. Formal reports were produced within 2 months, followed by expert depositions. The CWA input was very well received and deployed in negotiations to obtain a satisfactory outcome. |
