Alfa Laval Wins SEK 70 Million Energy-Efficiency Order In India

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order to supply Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers to a refinery in India. The order, booked in the Energy & Process segment, has a value of approximately SEK 70 million and delivery is scheduled for 2015. 

The Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers will be part of a capacity expansion in the refinery. The heat exchangers will recover heat from one part of the process, to be reused in the process of catalytic reforming, where petroleum products are transformed into high octane liquids.

“Our Packinox heat exchangers are extremely efficient when it comes to heat recovery and can replace several shell-and-tube heat exchangers in the same duty. This order confirms that they are highly suitable for the demanding applications in the refinery and petrochemical industry”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.
