The plant is ready: the future of Bussi goes through SCB’s sodium chlorite THE REBIRTH OF THE INDUSTRIAL HUB BUSSI OFFICINE An investment of 25 million euros and 25 new jobs by the end of the year. The announcement of Società Chimica Bussi, which yesterday presented the final phase of construction of the new sodium chlorite plant, is one of those that had not been heard for some time at the Officine. The ceremony, which was attended by Regional Councillor Mauro Febbo,  by President of the Regional Council Lorenzo Sospiri, Councillor Giovanni Legnini and General Manager Barbara Morgante, was the occasion to talk about the development projects of the chemical company. “We are continuing on the path of development in the name of environmental responsibility – explained the Chairman and Managing Director of SCB, Domenico Greco – by  giving competitiveness and prospects back to a chemical hub of international importance”. The re-industrialization of the Officine restarts, therefore, from sodium chlorite, an essential material for water treatment. “The necessary energy – Director of SCB Giuseppe Buzzi explained – will be self-produced through a new high-efficiency trigeneration plant”. An event to be framed, for President of the Region Marco Marsilio: “Finally we are starting to consider Bussi at an environmental level, moving towards the future”. The satisfaction of the productive world is also tangible. Luigi Di Giosaffatte, Director of Confindustria Chieti-Pescara, who attended the ceremony, commented: “The gratitude of the association goes to Managing Director Domenico Greco for having invested in Abruzzo and in particular in an industrial site that can boast more than one hundred and ten years of history”. written by Floriana BucciIl Messaggero 3/10/2019

Recruitment in the factory of rebirth THE INDUSTRIAL REDEMPTION Recruitment in the factory of rebirth THE INDUSTRIAL REDEMPTION Bussi changes its face. More job opportunities in the SCB that invests 25 million in a new plant to produce de-polluting materials by Lorenzo Colantonio e Walter Teti The Bussi model is born and it smacks of a miracle if the past and the new life of the industrial site are compared. From the dumping of poisons to the technological innovation factory in the environmental field. A company where the ecological use of substances, such as chlorine and hydrogen, has already allowed the recruitment of 120 workers who could become 500 if the re-industrialization process goes ahead at this pace. APPEAL TO RECLAMATION. The Società Chimica Bussi (SCB), which in 2016 took over the industrial complex established a century ago, passed unscathed through two wars but was later struck dead by the judicial storm on buried poisons, has already invested 35 million euros, and will spend another 25 to totally erase the brand linked to the past. Nevertheless, yesterday, on the day of the ribbon cutting of a new plant that will produce de-pollutants, the umpteenth appeal to politics was launched to finally unblock the environmental reclamation of the surrounding lands. NOW THE HYDROGEN.In the presence of institutional names such as the President of the Regional Council, Lorenzo Sospiri, the Councillor for productive activities Mauro Febbo, the General Director of the region, Barbara Morgante, the opposition Councillor Giovanni Legnini and the majority Councillor Vincenzo D’Incecco, and among the others Francesco Chiavaroli, Director of Arta, and the Mayor of Bussi, Salvatore Lagatta, the Chairman of SCB, Domenico Greco, explained how Bussi and Abruzzo today are looking towards the future by exporting technology, producing de-pollutants and even electricity necessary to operate its facilities. Moreover, Mr Greco announced some very ambitious projects such as the production of chlorine as well as hydrogen for mobility. THE TRANSFORMATION.Walking among the old warehouses besides which the new ones have been and will be built, we have the confirmation of how Bussi is changing, running towards the future much faster than large competing factories.“One hundred years ago Bussi Officine was already two centuries ahead, and today it goes on following the same path”, says Sospiri, who publicly receives Greco’s gratitude: “Now the Region is listening to us”, says the Manager of clean chemistry. THE PROJECT IS ABOUT TO START.The plant which was inaugurated yesterday and will start its activity in the first months of 2020, will produce sodium chlorite, a powerful oxidant, used in the disinfection and purification of water from metal ion residues and halogenated hydrocarbons, that are responsible for bad smells, in the use of fruit and vegetable washing, with a fungicidal and anti-mould effect and also as a textile bleach. “We are following a path of development in the name of environmental responsibility – underlined Mr Greco – giving back competitiveness and prospects to a chemical pole of international importance and demonstrating how it is possible … Read more
