Alfa Laval delivers equipment for production of high quality nutritional
supplements with Omega-3

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling - has received an order for equipment to produce high quality
nutritional supplements containing Omega-3. The order value is about SEK 70
million. Delivery will take place during 2008.

“Today's order is another example of the fantastic scope of the Alfa Laval
Group”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of Alfa Laval. “Recently we
received a breakthrough order for our new product for cleaning of ballast water
on board ships. Before that, several orders within energy related industry and
now this order to the food industry for production of among other things popular
lifestyle products”.
The nutritional supplement is produced from a shrimp-like crustacean living in
the Antarctic region. The end product, after processing, is meal and oil
containing high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids. Scientific studies have
shown a number of positive health effects like reduced levels of blood fats and
lowering of blood pressure as well as decreased risk of heart disease.
The systems ordered, that will be mounted on two ships, include several of Alfa
Laval's products and systems including spare parts.
