Alfa Laval wins SEK 55 million natural gas order in the U.S.
Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order to supply air cooler systems to a U.S. export terminal for natural gas liquids. The order, booked in the Energy & Environment segment, has a value of approximately SEK 55 million and delivery is scheduled for 2014.
The Alfa Laval air cooler systems will be used to cool the main process streams at the export terminal where refrigerated natural gas liquids (propane and butane) are loaded onto tanker vessels.
“This large order relates to products from Niagara Blower Company, which we acquired last year. The air cooler technology fits very well in our portfolio of reliable products for the demanding oil and gas industry,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.
Did you know that… many shale gas formations also contain so called natural gas liquids (NGL), such as propane and butane, which can be separated from the natural gas and used, for example as feed stock for petrochemical plants, for house hold heating or as fuel for vehicles?
