Alfa Laval wins SEK 90 million water treatment order in Australia

Regulatory News:

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order from a leading Australian energy company to supply a unique water-treatment system for cleaning wastewater from natural gas production. The order, booked in the Energy & Environment segment, is worth approximately SEK 90 million and delivery is scheduled for 2014.

The unique modular water-treatment system has been designed and pre-engineered by Alfa Laval and includes various compact heat exchangers. It will be used in a new water-treatment facility to clean wastewater from natural gas production. By using Alfa Laval’s compact and modular plate technology the system will evaporate the wastewater and thereby significantly reduce the amount of waste for disposal.

"This order reflects the increasing demand from the gas industry. It also confirms that our unique modular water-treatment system lives up to the high demands on performance and reliability from the major players in the industry,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.

Did you know that… Australia is estimated to have more than 800 trillion cubic feet of gas resources which is enough to power a city of 1 million people for 16,000 years?
