Ballestra background
Since the beginning of its operation in 1960 Ballestra S.p.A. focused
on the design and supply of modern, efficient and easy-to-operate production
plants for sulphonation and detergent production, at that time still using
backward and scarcely efficient production methods.
One of the first innovation introduced by Ballestra was the use of gaseous
SO3 in place of oleum as sulphonation agent and the optimisation
of the continuous sulphonation process for production of anionic surfactants
reaching yield and product quality never achieved before.
Through continuous technological development, Ballestra has been progressively
building up and consolidating its leadership in the design and supply
of plants for surfactants and powder detergent production.
The over 1000 Ballestra plants spread over 120 countries have been contributing
a substantial percentage of the world wide surfactants and detergent production,
making Ballestra name a landmark in the supply of technologies for the
Surfactant and Detergent Industry.
During its 40 years of operation Ballestra has also designed and supplied
many plants for the chemical industry so diversifying its activities.
