Alfa Laval wins SEK 95 million clean technology order in the US

Alfa Laval - a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling - has received an order for the unique Alfa Laval Packinox plate heat
exchangers, which will be used in an IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined
Cycle) power plant in the US. The order value is about SEK 95 million and was
booked late December 2008. Delivery is scheduled for 2009.


The Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers will be used in a process that cleans
the synthetic fuel gas made from coal before combustion. The gas will then be
used in a gas turbine for power generation. Compared with the latest
conventional "clean coal" technology the IGCC process has significantly less
impact on the environment with 50 percent reduction of SO2 emissions.  
“This is a new duty for the Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchanger and we are
continuously looking for new applications for this unique product,” says Lars
Renström, CEO and President of the Alfa Laval Group.

Did you know that Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is produced in combustion of fossil
fuels? When it reaches the atmosphere it reacts with water and eventually
becomes acid rain. By removing the sulphur before combustion this environmental
problem is minimized.
