Alberta Sulphur Research

Alberta Sulphur Research Ltd. was incorporated as a not-for-profit research organization in 1964. The Company conducts research in the field of chemistry as it concerns the science and technology of sulfur and its compounds with particular emphasis on the production, processing and utilization of sour natural gas, sour crude oils, oil sands and their related products. Much of the current focus is on energetically efficient and environmentally sound recovery processes as well as issues around the handling and transportation of elemental sulfur. ASRL is supported and governed by a broad cross-section of the petroleum-based energy industry and specific sulfur production and supply businesses from Canada, The United States and much of Europe as well as The Middle and Far East. It is affiliated with the Chemistry Department at the University of Calgary and continues to serve as a contact point between industry and academia, striving to provide an expert level of scientific and technological support to all those that require or are interested in understanding of the chemistry of sulfur and its compounds.
