Swedish sustainable solutions provider Alfa Laval announces an agreement with a subsidiary of US-based CVR Energy.

Improve profitability

Alfa Laval will provide technical solutions for the pretreatment of raw materials. The agreement with CVR Energy, a US oil refining company, is part of a strategic investment. The investment in the refinery supports CVR Energy’s expansion into the production of renewable biofuels.

The company will provide pre-treatment systems, consisting of various equipment such as separators, heat exchangers, pumps and agitators. This will serve to reduce contaminants in the feedstock prior to conversion into biofuel. These systems are intended to support a more cost-effective supply of sustainable raw materials.

A recognized experience

Nish Patel, President of Alfa Laval’s Food & Water Division, says:

“Alfa Laval has considerable experience and expertise in oil refining and biofuel production processes. With our high-end product range, we thus become a reliable partner for our customers in this important transition to a more sustainable energy supply. By modifying and optimizing today’s processes, we can make a big difference by working on tomorrow’s solutions in parallel.”

The Swedish supplier of sustainable solutions was working with various companies in the sector. In addition, Alfa Laval is supplying equipment and developing a new gas combustion unit.

This unit will be used on liquid hydrogen carriers for Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited. In October, Alfa Laval signed an agreement to supply compact heat exchangers to the Middle East. In addition, according to the IEA, annual global demand for biofuels is expected to increase by 28% by 2026 to 186 billion liters.
