Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling – has received an order to supply Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers
to one of the world’s largest petrochemical complexes in Saudi Arabia. The order
value is approximately SEK 120 million and delivery is scheduled to start in
2013 and be finalized in 2014.
The Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers will be used in the catalytic processing
sections in the production of mixed Xylenes used for synthetic nylons and PET
bottles, among other things.
“The order confirms Alfa Laval's strong position as a provider of energy
efficient solutions to the refinery and petrochemical industry”, says Lars
Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “Our Packinox heat
exchangers have a proven track record of being the ultimate choice in these
demanding applications.”
Did you know… that the annual world production of primary petrochemicals (e.g.
olefins and aromatics) is estimated at 250 million tons? North America and
Western Europe are considered the largest petrochemical manufacturers but the
major growth in new production capacity can be found in the Middle East and
Asia.
