Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling – has won an order from a Korean engineering company to supply heat
exchangers for a natural gas project in Saudi Arabia. The order value is
approximately SEK 80 million and delivery is scheduled for 2013.
The Alfa Laval heat exchangers will be used in a new major gas processing
facility in Saudi Arabia where they will be recovering energy in the gas
cleaning process, bringing down power consumption and CO2 emissions.
“Alfa
Laval has a strong position in the oil and gas markets and has delivered
reliable products and solutions for the demanding gas cleaning processes for
many years. This order is also a direct result of our strong presence both in
Korea and Saudi Arabia”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval
Group.
Did you know that… in 2010 Saudi Arabia had proven natural gas
reserves estimated at 264 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), the fifth largest in the
world after countries such as Russia and Qatar?[1]
