Alfa Laval sending heat exchangers to Russian refinery

Alfa Laval has received an order for compact heat exchangers from a refinery in Russia. The order value is about SEK 70 million and delivery is scheduled for 2011.

Alfa Laval’s compact heat exchangers will be used in the distillation process of the refinery, where the crude oil is pre-heated for further refining into high-value products such as gasoline. By using Alfa Laval’s compact heat exchangers it is possible to recover heat from other parts of the process and use it to preheat the oil, thereby achieving a highly energy-efficient solution.

“The last years we have seen increased investment in energy efficiency by the process industry," says Lars Renström, president and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “Russia is one of our most important refinery markets and this order is another example of their investments in heat-recovery duties for energy optimizations.”
