Alfa Laval bags $ 14 mn order for heat exchangers

Alfa Laval - the Swedish company that deals in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling - has won an order to supply Alfa Laval OLMI heat exchangers to a petrochemical plant in the Middle East. The order, booked in the energy & process segment, has a value of approximately SEK 125 million (about $ 14 million) and delivery is scheduled for 2017.
