Fertilizers
Fertilizer production requires efficient energy use and low environmental impact while maximizing uptime and yields. Alfa Laval’s heat exchangers for fertilizer industry help producers optimize processes, cut costs, and boost sustainability for reliable, high-yield operations.
Promoting the efficient growth of the fertilizer industry
Increasing efficiency and uptime is critical for fertilizers manufacturers today. Alfa Laval can help cut energy costs, reduce problems with fouling and corrosion and recover waste heat for reuse in the other plant processes.
Energy-Efficient Heat Exchangers for the Fertilizer Industry
With space-saving designs, Alfa Laval’s broad range of heat exchangers significantly cuts capital expenditures compared to conventional units. Plus, substantial energy savings can be realized due to the counter-current flow of our heat exchangers, enabling a temperature difference of just 2°C between the hot and cold liquids.
Our Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers combine the capability to withstand high pressures and high temperatures with the benefits of compact design, making them ideal for waste heat recovery or interchanger positions under demanding conditions.
Advanced Separation to Reduce Fouling and Increase Uptime
Alfa Laval self-cleaning high-speed separators effectively handle fouling media, thereby increasing productivity and uptime. For the effective separation of phosphate mining tailings, our decanter centrifuges efficiently separate solid materials from liquids in the slurry, reducing solids to a dry cake for easy disposal.
Specialized Equipment for Urea Synthesis & Waste Heat Recovery
The Alfa Laval Olmi product range consists of high-pressure equipment for urea synthesis as well as waste heat recovery systems. This includes compact, lightweight waste heat recovery boilers and process gas coolers specifically designed for the high-temperature and high-pressure applications required for fertilizer production. Our process gas coolers, for instance, can handle pressures up to 200 bar and gas inlet temperatures of up to 1000°C.
Boost profits - recycle your energy
Investments in waste heat recovery are often very profitable. Payback periods are typically less than a year.
