Alfa Laval wins SEK 65 million order from the aluminum industry in India

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling - has won an order for heat exchangers from an aluminum production
company in India. The order value is about SEK 65 million and final delivery is
scheduled for 2010.

The Alfa Laval heat exchangers will be used in an early stage of the process
where ore is heated up under high pressure to start the extraction of alumina.
The extracted alumina is later treated in separate smelting facilities to
produce aluminum.

“We have seen a good development of this business over the past two years. This
is our second large order in six months to the Indian aluminum industry”, says
Lars Renström, CEO and President of the Alfa Laval Group.


Did you know that Alfa Laval has been involved in production of aluminum since
the 1950's and is today delivering equipment for almost all stages of the
production process?
