Engine power

Whether an engine power plant is small back-up facility or a plant that generates hundreds of megawatts, one wants to get the most from it. Doing so depends on the diesel engine or engines at its heart, but also on the surrounding equipment. Alfa Laval is a leading supplier of auxiliaries with a long history of serving engine power businesses, which means we understand the full scope of needs. Based on the plant’s unique setup and conditions, we can help in optimizing its energy production.

Optimize your power plant’s fuel line

If engines are the heart of a power plant, the fuel line is what keeps them going strong. Alfa Laval’s separators, fuel supply systems, pumps and other solutions are designed for years of reliability, so you might seldom think of them. But like fuels themselves, our technology and knowledge develop. We have answers to improve efficiency, lower OPEX, prepare for biofuels and more. Explore our equipment below – and talk to us about fuel line possibilities.
