By using Alfa Laval’s compact heat exchangers it is possible to recover heat from several streams of the refinery process. As a result the Russian refinery will be able to reduce its energy consumption by 340 megawatt and CO2 emissions by 850 000 tonnes annually. The reduction of CO2 emissions corresponds to about the emissions from all family cars during one year in Stockholm, the Swedish capital.

“The order confirms that Alfa Laval’s compact heat exchangers has an outstanding offer that fits the refinery needs; technical, financial and environmental”, says Lars Renström, president and chief executive officer of the Alfa Laval Group. “It is also evidence that Russian refineries’ continuous to investment in energy efficiency.”
