Sulfuric anhydride, commonly known as sulfur trioxide (SO₃), is a highly reactive, colorless to white crystalline chemical compound primarily used in the production of sulfuric acid through the contact process. It is formed by the catalytic oxidation of sulfur dioxide and exists in several forms, including gaseous SO₃, liquid SO₃, and stable crystalline modifications. Because sulfuric anhydride reacts violently with water to form concentrated sulfuric acid, it must be handled with extreme care. It is widely used across industries such as fertilizers, petrochemicals, detergents, metal processing, and pharmaceuticals, making it one of the most critical intermediates in the global chemical supply chain.

Setting up a sulfuric anhydride plant requires reliable access to sulfur or sulfur dioxide feedstock, advanced catalytic oxidation technology, and strict environmental controls to manage emissions and worker safety. Investors must plan for corrosion-resistant equipment, continuous monitoring systems, and efficient heat recovery to optimize energy use. With proper design, regulatory compliance, and strong downstream demand, a sulfuric anhydride plant can offer stable, long-term profitability.
