Abstract: We introduce a Morita type equivalence: two operator algebras A and B are called strongly Delta-equivalent if they have completely isometric representations alpha and respectively and there exists a ternary ring of operators M such that alpha(A) (resp. ) is equal to the norm closure of the linear span of the set (resp. Malpha(A)M). We study the properties of this equivalence. We prove that if two operator algebras A and B, possessing countable approximate identities, are strongly Delta-equivalent, then the operator algebras AotimesclK and BotimesclK are isomorphic. Here clK is the set of compact operators on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space and otimes is the spatial tensor product. Conversely, if AotimesclK and BotimesclK are isomorphic and A,B possess contractive approximate identities then A and B are strongly Delta-equivalent.
