Pune, Maharashtra -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/05/2010 -- Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling – has received an order for a black liquor evaporation plant from a reputed paper mill plant at Malaysia. The delivery is scheduled for 2010.

The contract includes a black liquor evaporation plant and condensate stripping system including design, engineering, supply, installation and commissioning service. Alfa Laval’s tailor-made ‘AlfaCond’ condenser plays a vital role in the system.

The Alfa Laval evaporation system will be used in a process to concentrate black liquor, a by-product from the pulp and paper production, for further re-use as fuel in the plant. In addition the steam, which is the result from the concentration process, will be condensed and re-used as water in the process thus further reducing the environmental impact of the plant.
