(the "Company" or "SulphCo") (NYSE Amex:SUF), a technology company with a patented ultrasound process designed to desulfurize liquid petroleum streams, announced today that it has received notice from the mid-stream energy company with which it has been discussing potential commercial options that it has chosen not to move forward with commercial negotiations at the present time.
