Alfa Laval, heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling company has received a US $16.2 million order for crude oil treatment at a gas turbine power plant in Saudi Arabia.
The order is for the Rabigh Power plants expansion project, which consists of 16 gas turbines generating an extra 960 MWe of capacity. The order includes separators, plate heat exchangers and crude oil booster pumps.
“This order confirms that the activity level within Energy and Environment is increasing,” says Lars Renström, CEO and President of the Alfa Laval Group.
“It is important to notice that Alfa Laval’s well established local service organisation in Saudi Arabia is a key factor when a customer places the order,” he added.
The production capacity is set to ease the load on generating utilities facing an annual demand increase of 7% due to rapidly expanding population and industrial base. Delivery is scheduled for 2008.
