Its primary use is in the Contact Process (making Sulphuric Acid).
This can be done directly by reacting Sulphur Trioxide with Water to form dilute, but highly corrosive, Sulphuric Acid:
SO3(g) + H2O(l) = H2SO4(aq)
It can also be achieved indirectly by adding Sulphur Trioxide to Sulphuric Acid to form Disulphuric Acid (Pyrosulphuric Acid, Fuming Sulphuric Acid or Oleum) then Reacting Disulphuric Acid with Water to Form Concentrated Sulphuric Acid:
SO3(g) + H2SO4(l) = H2S207(l)
H2S2O7(l) + H20(l) = 2H2SO4(l)

Sulphur trioxide is used to make sulphuric acid.
The gas SO3 is dissolved in sulphuric acid to ,make oleum ( fuming sulphuric acid) .
Oleum is then dissolved in water to make sulphuric acid.
It is done by this method to prevent heat generation and acid spitting.
SO3 + H2SO4 = H2S2O7(Oleum)
H2S2O7 + H2O = 2H2SO4
Oleum(fuming sulphuric acid) is very nasty stuff. !!!!!! It must be very carefully handled in a factory .
