PR Newswire (US)
HOUSTON, Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SulphCo, Inc. (the
"Company" or "SulphCo") (AMEX:SUF), a technology company with a
patented ultrasound process designed to desulphurize crude oil,
announced that commercial scale field trials with its European
testing partner are scheduled to commence today. These trials
follow the successful completion of full scale field trials at a
potential customer's facility in the Southeastern U.S. in October
2008. A 15,000 barrel per day ("bpd") Sonocracking(TM) unit
installed at the European testing partner's site for field trials
conducted in the fall of 2007 has been retrofitted with the latest
generation ultrasound probe and reactor technology in preparation
for these trials. In late December 2008, the Company shipped a
laboratory scale Sonocracking(TM) unit from Houston to the
facilities of the European testing partner, where laboratory scale
trials were conducted during the week of January 12, 2009 on a
variety of crude oils and crude oil products under the supervision
of Dr. Florian J. Schattenmann, SulphCo's CTO, and a SulphCo senior
chemist. The purpose of the laboratory trials was to define the
relevant process parameters and appropriate operating conditions
for these field trials. Dr. Larry Ryan, SulphCo's CEO, commented:
"We are very pleased to be recommencing commercial scale field
trials of our Sonocracking(TM) technology with our European testing
partner. Clay Chambers, SulphCo's COO, and I will be traveling to
Europe to oversee these trials personally. As soon as test results
and analyses become available, we will provide an update." About
