Alfa Laval wins SEK 65 million energy-efficiency order in Middle East

Alfa Laval (STO:ALFA) – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order to supply Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers to an integrated refinery-petrochemical complex in the Middle East. The order, booked in the Process Industry segment, is worth approximately SEK 65 million and delivery is scheduled for 2014 and 2015.

The Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers will be included in a process to remove non-desirable substances, such as sulfur, from the feed stock.

"This order confirms the continuous investments in energy-efficiency we see in the process industry. Our Packinox heat exchanger has a proven performance and is a perfect fit for the demanding applications in the refinery and petrochemical industries,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.

Did you know that… an Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchanger can handle temperatures up to 550 degrees Celsius, can be up to 25 meters high and still it is more compact than the competing, traditional shell-and-tube technology?
