Alfa Laval wins Brazilian biofuel order

Alfa Laval, a major provider of key products for the biofuel industry, has been awarded a large equipment contract for several ethanol plants in Brazil.

Alfa Laval AB – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won a biofuel order for process equipment to a number of ethanol plants in Brazil. The customer is one of the largest suppliers of ethanol plants in the world. The order includes both high speed separators and plate heat exchangers to a biofuel order value of about SEK 90 million. About SEK 15 million of the order value was booked end of March, 2008. Delivery is mainly scheduled for 2008.

“We have been active in the Brazilian biofuel market for more than thirty years and this order reinforces our position as one of the major providers of key products to the growing Brazilian biofuel industry,” says Lars Renstrom, CEO and President of the Alfa Laval Group.
