Alfa Laval a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has won an order for three thermal evaporation systems from Vedanta Aluminum Limited for its expansion project in India. The order value is about SEK 150 million and delivery is scheduled for 2009.

“Alfa Laval has provided customers with solutions that generate, reuse and protect natural resources in industrial processes for 125 years”, says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “In this case caustic is recycled back to the main process after concentration by thermal evaporation, caustic that otherwise would have been wasted”.
