Alfa Laval wins SEK 155 million energy-efficiency order in China

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 petrochemical plant in China. The order value is approximately SEK 155 million and it is booked in the Welded Heat Exchangers unit of the Energy Division. Deliveries are scheduled for 2017 and 2018.

The heat exchangers will be used to recover energy in the production process of mixed xylene, an important ingredient for the manufacturing of industrial chemicals and plastics products.

“Energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important factor to meet the growing energy demand. Our compact heat exchangers can meet the tough demands of different industrial processes, offering a reliable solution while also saving energy,” says Susanne Pahlén Åklundh, President of the Energy Division.  

Did you know that… in this application, one single Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchanger can replace up to four of the largest tubular heat exchangers, making it a very compact and energy efficient solution?
