Alfa Laval wins SEK 65 million natural gas order in the U.S.

Regulatory News:

Alfa Laval (STO:ALFA) – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order to supply air cooler systems to a natural gas plant in the US. The order, booked in the Energy & Process segment, has a value of approximately SEK 65 million. Delivery is scheduled for 2015.

The air cooler systems will be used to cool the main process streams at the natural gas plant. In this cooling process natural gas liquids are separated from the gas and then fractionated (distilled) into ethane, propane and butane.

"This is the second large order within a month for products from Niagara Blower Company, an acquisition we made last year. The order confirms our strong position within the oil and gas industry,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.

Did you know that… that ethane, propane and butane can be separated from the natural gas during the liquefaction process and then used, for example as feed stock for petrochemical plants, for household heating or as fuel for vehicles?
