Alfa Laval wins SEK 130 million heat transfer order in Brazil
Thursday, 22 March 2012
Alfa Laval has won a plate heat exchanger order from a big oil company
in Brazil. The order value is approximately SEK 130 million and
delivery is scheduled for 2012.
The Alfa Laval plate heat exchangers will be installed at offshore
production platforms where they will be used for heat recovery in the
main separation process.
“We have worked with the oil and gas industry in Brazil for over 40
years. During this time we have developed new products and process
solutions to meet the heavy demands in deep sea oil production”, says
Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “This order
confirms our ability to supply energy efficient solutions to this
market.”
Many of the offshore oil fields outside of Brazil contain heavy crude
oil mixed with large amounts of water, which requires a lot of heat
when separating the water from the oil. By using Alfa Laval plate heat
exchangers, it is possible to recover heat from the process itself to
heat up the heavy crude oil, resulting in a very energy efficient
solution.
