Alfa Laval wins SEK 60 million refinery order in Algeria

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling - has received an order for Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers from an
Algerian refinery. The order value is about 60 MSEK and was booked late December
2009. Delivery is scheduled for 2011.

The Alfa Laval Packinox plate heat exchangers will be used in the catalytic
processing section in the production of mixed Xylenes, which, among other
things, can be used for production of PET bottles.

“There is no product that can match the Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchanger. This
massive - but still compact - welded heat exchanger offers an unique energy
efficiency especially well suited for the high demands within the refinery and
petrochemical industries,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa
Laval Group. 


Did you know that… Alfa Laval Packinox plate heat exchanger for this type of
application can handle temperatures from 80°C up to 530°C? By replacing
traditional shell and tube heat exchangers with one single Alfa Laval Packinox
heat exchanger a refinery can save between SEK 10 and 20 million per year in
reduced energy costs.
