Alfa Laval wins SEK 50 million refinery order in India

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and
fluid handling - has received an order for Alfa Laval Packinox heat
exchangers to be used in a refinery in India. The order value is about
SEK 50 million and delivery is scheduled for 2011.

The Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers will be used in a catalytic
process to remove sulphur from refined diesel. Alfa Laval's unique
Packinox heat exchangers are widely used in the refinery and
petrochemical industry as they have an unmatched energy efficiency well
suited for these demanding applications.
“Four out of the five large orders Alfa Laval has received recently have
been in India”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval
Group. “The rapidly increasing standard of living increases the demand
for diesel.”
Did you know that… one single Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchanger -
despite its size - is more efficient and compact than traditional
techniques and can thereby replace up to four traditional shell and tube
heat exchangers in this application?
