Abstract

The modern global synthetic ammonia industry owes its heritage to the Italian chemist Luigi Casale, who a century ago founded the forerunner of today's Casale S.A., of Lugano, Switzerland. Since the 1980s, Casale innovations have led in the energy-saving revamping of nitrogen plants, and in the introduction of related technologies, including novel catalysts.
