This patent is priceless. In mining countries like Chile and Peru for example H2SO4 which is used to treat water from mineshafts and tailing ponds for contaminants such as arsenic before it leaches into underground streams. Much difficulty occurs in hauling H2SO4 into sites, With this technology abundant sulphur by product at sites can be made into H2SO4 immediately.

The patent covers a process for producing sulfuric acid directly at locations where it is needed and in quantities sufficient for immediate use, thereby reducing the cost and safety concerns of transporting and storing acid. Research and development of this process began while Global Water was seeking solutions for produced water treatment. The company is now seeking partners to commercialize the technology in that market and others where low-cost sulfuric acid is needed, especially in remote locations.
