It is booked in the Welded Heat Exchangers unit of the Energy Division, with deliveries scheduled for 2019 and 2020.

The order comprises Alfa Laval compact heat exchangers which will be used to in the process of producing polymers, for further use in plastics products. 

“Petrochemical processing is very energy intensive. By using energy-efficient heat exchangers like ours, customers can make substantial energy savings which have a positive effect on their bottom line. Reduced energy consumption also cuts the CO₂ emissions which is good for us all,” says Susanne Pahlén Åklundh, President of the Energy Division.
