Alfa Laval receives SEK 100 million power order from the Middle East

Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has received an order for crude oil treatment at a gas turbine power plant in Saudi Arabia. The order value is about 100 MSEK. Delivery is scheduled for 2008.

The order is for the Rabigh Power plants expansion project which consists of 16 gas turbines generating an extra 960 MWe of capacity. The order includes separators, plate heat exchangers and crude oil booster pumps.
“This order confirms that the activity level within Energy and Environment is increasing,” says Lars Renström, CEO and President of the Alfa Laval Group. “It is important to notice that Alfa Laval’s well established local service organization in Saudi Arabia is a key factor when a customer places the order.”
Did you know that a power plant in Saudi Arabia with an installed capacity of 960 MWe produces electricity enough to support more than 1 million people with their total daily need? This production capacity will ease the load on generating utilities facing an annual demand increase of 7% due to rapidly expanding population and industrial base.
