Alfa Laval, a provider of heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling solutions, won an US$10.2 million (SEK 85 million) order for separation modules. The order, booked in the Energy & Process segment, is scheduled for delivery this year.
The Alfa Laval separation modules will be installed onboard a floating production, storage and offloading vessel which, once completed, will be moored outside the Brazilian coast. The modules will remove water and impurities from heavy crude oil. Due to the design it will be possible to reduce the water content down to about one percent after separation, compared 10-20% using traditional methods – without excessive use of heat and chemicals.
