We have experience with the equipment you are looking for. We are currently working on a project for sulfur handling which includes the explosion concerns that you are addressing. We have worked in sugar but that is not our specialty. You can contact us at Loeffler Engineering 281-338-2801 or visit our web site at www.loefflerengineering.com. ■

I would suggest the Wolfson Centre at the University of Greenwhich to be a suitable candidate for advice on sugar storage and handing. They have experience of large scale, mass flow design for sugar storage. Contact Dr. Mike Bradley via www.bulksolids.com

I have recently completed a white sugar storage, handling and bag handling project for a 7500 TCD sugar plant in south maharashtra, India. I would need more details of the actual requirement so as to start working or communicate on the subject.
