Alfa Laval wins SEK 50 million vegetable oil order in Brazil


Alfa Laval – a world leader in heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid
handling – has won an order to supply equipment for a complete process line to a
vegetable oil refining plant in Brazil. The order, booked in the Food Technology
segment has a value of approximately SEK 50 million and delivery is scheduled
for 2014 and 2015.
The Alfa Laval equipment includes various heat exchangers, mixers and separators
which will be installed in a process plant for edible oil production as well as
oil pre-treatment for biodiesel production.

“This order reflects the good growth we see in Brazil – and it also confirms our
strong position as a reliable supplier of process solutions to the vegetable oil
industry,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.

Did you know that… according to the US Department of Agriculture, Brazil is
estimated to overtake the US as the world’s largest producer of soybean during
2014? Their estimates upgraded the Brazilian crop (to be harvested early in
2014) to 88 million tonnes, which is 3 million tonnes ahead of the US forecasted
output.
