Alfa Laval to cool US NGL export terminal streams

Heat transfer company Alfa Laval has won an order to supply air cooler systems to a US export terminal for natural gas liquids, the company announced on Tuesday.

The order, booked in the energy and process segment, has a value of approximately SEK 95 million ($13.8 million) and delivery is scheduled for 2015.

The Alfa Laval air cooler systems will be used to cool the main process streams at the export terminal where refrigerated natural gas liquids (ethane, propane and butane) are loaded onto tanker vessels.

“This large order relates to products from Niagara Blower Company, an acquisition we made last year," said Lars Renström, CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. "The order confirms our position as a strong and reliable supplier to the oil and gas industry."

The name of the terminal operator was not disclosed.
