One of the oldest pulp and paper mills in Minnesota, United States, faced a steam capacity problem when installing an additional paper machine. To reduce pressure on the boiler system, the mill identified the bleaching plants as the priority area for energy savings. By installing three Alfa Laval WideGap plate heat exchangers, the mill could utilize waste heat to preheat reused washing filtrates, reducing bleaching steam use by 22% and saving $27,000 per month. The project paid for itself in less than a year.

Stargard’s geothermal energy installation is the second largest in Poland, providing fossil-free heat and hot water to the city’s residents. Owned by the city, this company was looking to modernize and expand their installation and needed a heat exchanger supplier that shared their passion for clean energy solutions and could fit the stringent requirements of their application. With the support of the Alfa Laval T-series, they are able to produce between 350,000 and 400,000 GJ (97 and 111 GWh) of heat every year, preventing an impressive 38,000 tonnes of coal-based emissions from entering the atmosphere.
