Alfa Laval’s heat exchangers, decanters and tank cleaning equipment will be used in the starch-based fermentation, distillation and dehydration processes of the ethanol plant. The plant in Vietnam will produce about 330,000 litres per day of fuel ethanol from cassava chips.
“Biofuel continues to be an interesting area for Alfa Laval where our products play a vital role”, says Lars Renström, pesident and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “By using Alfa Laval products and solutions it is possible to improve the yield and at the same time reduce the water consumption and increase the energy efficiency.”
