Making petrochemical applications more sustainable
Global demand for petrochemical-based products such as packaging, plastic bags, appliances, and cars, is on the rise. Alfa Laval can help you optimize your existing plant and ensure the best technology selection for your upgrade project or new green field plant. Heat exchangers and heat transfer are what we know best. No matter the application you are in.
Applications in petrochemical production
- Base chemicals production
- Intermediate chemical production
- Polymer and fibres production
- Fine chemical production
Base chemicals production
Producing base chemicals like ethylene, propylene, ammonia, methanol, butadiene, and aromatics requires maximum efficiency. Alfa Laval offers a wide range of solutions to help you match the right equipment to your specific requirements. Our goal is to help you reduce energy consumption and installation costs, while increasing plant reliability. Whether you need a compact heat exchanger to improve production efficiency, or separation equipment to minimize process waste, we have the solution.
Intermediate chemical production
If you are producing, ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, polyols, organic acids, amines, or other intermediate petrochemicals, you can increase production at a lower cost to the environment with Alfa Laval. Whether you need our highly efficient heat exchangers, condensers, decanters, or separation equipment, you can reduce waste and energy consumption without reducing profitability.
Polymer and fibres production
Whether you are producing latex, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene or PVC, Alfa Laval has the expertise, equipment, and services to maximize production reliability and minimize the environmental impact of your petrochemical plant. And with an Alfa Laval Widegap gasketed plate heat exchanger, Alfa Laval Compabloc, or Alfa Laval spiral heat exchanger in your process, efficient fibrous liquid handling is easier than ever.
Fine chemical production and specialty chemicals
Fine and specialty chemicals like surfactants, water treatment chemicals, pesticides, polymer additives, resins, adhesives, vitamins, and other substances, are produced in smaller volumes than their bulk chemical counter parts. This means consistency and quality are key. Alfa Laval has been working closely with petrochemical producers to provide reliable, cost-efficient, and specialized technologies that optimizing heating, cooling, condensing, re-boiling, and heat transfer for consistent, energy efficient, results.
Equipment
Alfa Laval provides a comprehensive range of technologies designed to meet the conditions and requirements of the petrochemical industry. Our high-quality heat transfer innovations as well as pumps, and separation technologies, deliver efficiency and value to your business.
