SulphCo, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, was founded in 1999. The original patents relating to our technology resulted from the research efforts of several scientists at the University of Southern California. Their novel work utilized high power ultrasound to enhance the oxidation of sulfur compounds in diesel fuel. Since the inception of the Company, we have continuously improved our Sonocracking™ technology by redesigning the ultrasound probe, systematically documenting the chemical reactions that occur during the Sonocracking™ process, and identifying efficient and cost effective catalyst and oxidant systems. Commercially, a variety of potential customers ranging from small independent “transmix” processors to major integrated oil companies are in various stages of evaluating the Sonocracking™ technology for their specific applications.
