Dow Jones Description

SulphCo is engaged in the business of developing and commercializing its patented and proprietary Sonocracking technology. The Sonocracking technology is based upon the combination of proprietary catalysts, oxidants, and the novel use of high power ultrasound - the application of high energy, high frequency sound waves - to alter the molecular structure of crude oil and crude oil fractions. The overall process is designed to "upgrade" the quality of crude oil and crude oil products (e.g., diesel fuel, gasoline, fuel oil, etc.) by modifying and reducing the sulfur and nitrogen content to make those compounds easier to process using conventional techniques, as well as reducing the density and viscosity. The target applications for our Sonocracking technology and our Sonocracker units are within the refining, transportation, and crude oil production market segments. Environmental regulations mandate the reduction of sulfur content in many fuels, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and bunker fuel. For example, the sulfur specification for finished diesel fuel is less than 10 parts per million ("ppm") in the European Union, while typical starting concentrations are in the thousands of ppm. Similar regulations are in effect for the U.S. market. Also, the sulfur content of crude oil is an increasing concern for all facets of the market, and the economic value of crude oil and crude oil products is driven largely by this value. ...
