Hyper-Low 1,4-Dioxane

SLES Production

Hyper-Low 1,4-Dioxane

Ballestra continues to lead the way in addressing environmental and regulatory challenges with state-of-the-art technologies for 1,4-dioxane removal and 1,4-dioxane destruction.
Our innovative systems ensure production of surfactants with dioxane levels well below the most stringent international standards, such as the New York State Bill S4389B, which mandates residual 1,4-dioxane levels below 5 ppm in finished products.

Ballestra has developed a unique system to produce Hyper-Low Dioxane 1-2-3 EO Ethoxysulphate (SLES) paste with a residual 1,4-dioxane content below 3 ppm on a 100% Active Matter basis.

Key Features of the System:

Simultaneous Neutralization, Deaeration, and 1,4-Dioxane Stripping: A highly efficient process integrating multiple steps for maximum performance.
Mild Operating Conditions: No risk of product degradation, ensuring high-quality, stable output.
High Concentration SLES: Direct production of paste at 70% active concentration.

Superior Dioxane Removal: Achieves more than 90% dioxane reduction, meeting the most stringent regulatory requirements.
Energy Efficiency: Reduced energy consumption by approximately 50% compared to conventional stripping systems, enhancing sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
