Alfa Laval

Heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling

Alfa Laval specializes in three core technologies: heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling. It develops and supplies equipment for industrial processes, with a focus on energy efficiency, water reuse, clean energy, and the circular economy. The company traces its history to 1883.

Products and solutions

Alfa Laval's catalog covers a broad range of industrial equipment:

• Heat exchangers: plate heat exchangers, copper-brazed plate exchangers, and fusion-bonded all-stainless-steel plate exchangers. They are designed for efficient heat transfer in compact equipment, with flexible configurations and straightforward repair and maintenance.
• Separation: centrifugal separation technology for fluids, solids, and gases in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, oil-processing, and wastewater industries. Products include separators for biopharmaceutical processes and brewing, vertical olive-oil centrifuges, and membrane filtration.
• Centrifugal decanters: continuous-process equipment that separates solids from one or two liquids, handling particles from 5 mm down to a few microns. Models include olive-oil decanters and sludge centrifuges.
• Fluid handling: hygienic tank valves and equipment designed for low operating costs, plus centrifugal and lobe pumps for dairy, food, beverage, home-care, cosmetics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical applications.
• Marine equipment: solutions for shipowners, shipping companies, and vessel operators, including ballast-water treatment, exhaust-gas cleaning systems (scrubbers), adaptable fuel lines, steam boilers, and LNG fuel equipment.

Applications and industries

Alfa Laval solutions support energy efficiency, green hydrogen, data-center cooling, industrial water management, olive-oil production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, HVAC, sustainable cities, and sustainable shipping. The company also offers an HVAC portal for engineering firms with technical guides and tools.
