Technical Assistance

Field Engineers
-Erection
-Start-up
-Site Management
Theoretical knowledge, however indispensable it may be, can only prove really useful when it rests on practical experience gained from the installation of over 1,800 units, in 120 countries.

And this is precisely the kind of experience from which our engineers can provide you with valuable information to get the best results from your own Desmet Ballestra plant.
