Customer stories

The following case stories show the results of waste heat recovery in industries:

BAL, India

"40% reduced steam consumption"

Balaji Amines Limited is one of India’s largest manufacturers of speciality chemicals and amines. Installing Alfa Laval Compabloc heat exchangers reduced steam consumption by 40%, giving major savings in energy costs and significantly reduced CO₂emissions.

Santelisa Vale, Brazil

"40% to 50% reduced steam consumption"
By using six Alfa Laval WideGap heat exchangers, Santelisa Vale has reduced the consumption of live steam by 40% to 50% at its Sertãozinho sugar and ethanol plant. The excess steam is used for generating electricity, which is sold to the national grid. The new heat exchangers also led to a reduced consumption of cooling water from a nearby lake.

Mulgrave Central Mill, Australia

"40% to 50% reduced steam consumption"
Mulgrave Central Mill produces raw sugar. When an Alfa Laval M30 plate heat exchanger was installed to preheat clarified juice, the capacity of the subsequent evaporator stage increased by 2.5% to 5%. The heat source is either bleed-off vapour from the first evaporator effect or low-pressure steam.

Kemira, Sweden

"240 GWh of heat sold to the local district heating network"

The Kemira sulphuric acid plant delivers a total of 240 GWh of heat to the district heating network of the city of Helsingborg. This corresponds to 25% of the city’s requirements and is the equivalent of around 22,000 m³ of oil. The payback time was less than one year.

Shell, Canada

"13.5 MW recovered"
Shell replaced the shell-and-tube condensers at its refinery in Sarnia, Canada with eight Compabloc heat exchangers to recover approximately 13.5 MW. Recovering this heat means the steam plant still has additional capacity to meet further increase in demand.
