Improving energy efficiency of hydrogen peroxide production processes

Alfa Laval leverages extensive process expertise and a diverse range of compact heat exchangers to meet the demands for efficient use of raw materials and energy in hydrogen peroxide production. Specially designed plates ensure high thermal efficiency and strong turbulence, outperforming conventional shell-and-tube heat exchangers while occupying less floor space, thus reducing operating and energy costs.

Alfa Laval also offers gasket-free solutions suitable for demanding applications such as pre-cooling oxidizer feed or cooling offgases. These solutions are highly suitable for handling corrosive fluids, featuring a compact and efficient design that saves space and lowers costs.

Exceptional corrosion resistance for large-scale hydrochloric acid production

Alfa Laval Diabon® graphite plate heat exchangers, developed in collaboration with SGL Group, combine advanced heat transfer technology with outstanding resistance to aggressive media. Their compact design offers higher thermal efficiency and requires less floor space than graphite block or conventional shell-and-tube exchangers.

Special corrugated plate patterns enhance turbulence, maximizing heat transfer and uptime. Alfa Laval provides the expertise and solutions needed for processes such as vapor condensation and acid cooling, helping reduce costs and boost yields across various industrial applications.
