Sulphonation Technologies for Anionic Surfactants
Key Technologies in Surfactant Production
Ballestra offers a full portfolio of advanced sulphonation and sulphation solutions, covering every stage of the anionic surfactant production process. From high-efficiency reactors and dioxane control systems to drying and exhaust gas treatment technologies, each solution is designed to deliver exceptional product quality, energy efficiency, and environmental compliance.
SULPHONEXT Reactor
The proprietary SULPHONEXT Multitube Falling Film Reactor (MTFR), is at the core of Ballestra efficient and sustainable sulphonation / sulphation technology. Operating with gaseous SO3, the reactor offers superior heat transfer, minimal pressure drop, and excellent energy efficiency.
Vacuum Neutralization
This system ensures high-precision neutralization for maximum product quality. Vacuum neutralization stabilizes surfactants post-reaction, ensuring they meet performance and quality standards. Vacuum Neutralization also allows a first step of removal of 1,4 dioxane from the surfactant, performed with no need for supply of steam from external sources. Simple, effective and sustainable.
Hyper Low 1,4-Dioxane Removal (Ballestra HLD Technology)
Dioxane removal is vital to ensure environmental compliance and meet the demand for safe and pure surfactants. Ballestra’s ultra-low dioxane removal process eliminates dioxane traces with minimal waste.
1,4-Dioxane Destruction (Ballestra AOP Technology)
A robust and effective technology designed to safely destroy any remaining dioxane byproducts in surfactant production processes, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory compliance.
Anionic Surfactants Drying
Efficient drying systems ensure that pure, dry surfactant production is achieved in powder, granules, needles and other geometries in compliance with the most stringent market requirements . This process eliminates moisture, producing surfactants ideal for a variety of applications, with optimal processing time and unmatchable energy savings.
Exhaust Gas Treatment
Ballestra’s advanced exhaust gas treatment solutions ensure environmental protection by minimizing emissions. This system captures and neutralizes pollutants post-production, maintaining environmental compliance.
