Intertitles: 00:45 This sulphur mining process was invented in 1891 by Dr. Herman Frasch, a noted chemist. It was brought to successful operation in 1903. The process as used at Gulf Coast mines today is essentially as Dr. Frasch invented it. But many improvements have been made in methods of heating water, of forcing it into the ore body.
