| Alfa Laval wins SEK 90 million refinery order in Saudi Arabi | | Alfa Laval has received an order for Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers from a Saudi Arabian refinery. The order value is about 90 MSEK and 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 synthetic fibers such as nylons.
“Our Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers keep proving their unmatched energy efficiency within the refinery and petrochemical industries,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “This unique heat exchanger is – despite its huge size – a compact solution compared to alternative solutions”
Did you know that… for this kind of application, one Alfa Laval Packinox heat
exchanger can replace up to four of the largest shell and tube heat exchangers and thereby also saving the same amount of space in the refinery.
