With these as its base, Alfa Laval aims to help enhance the productivity and competitiveness of its customers in various industries throughout the world. We define their challenges and deliver sustainable products and solutions that meet their requirements – mainly in energy, the environment, food and the marine industry. What? Heat transfer Compact heat exchangers that recycle heat, optimize customers’ energy consumption, cut costs and reduce negative environmental impact. Separation Separators, decanter centrifuges, filters, strainers and membranes that separate liquids from other liquids and solid particles from liquids or gases. Fluid handling Pumps, valves, tank cleaning equipment and installation material for industries with stringent hygiene requirements as well as pumping systems specifically for the marine industry and the offshore market. For whom? The need to heat, cool, transport and separate arises in many industries: food, energy, pharmaceuticals, refineries or petrochemicals – Alfa Laval can help in the majority of them. End customers are reached through the Energy, Food & Water and Marine divisions. How? Operations handles production-related procurement, distribution and logistics on a global basis and ensures that anything sold by the three divisions is produced and delivered in line with the promise made to the customer. Where? Alfa Laval’s products, systems and services are sold in more than 100 countries. More than 110 service centers deliver services in over 160 countries This means that Alfa Laval is close to its customers, ready to help at a moment’s notice when the need arises. Sustainability? Alfa Laval is helping to achieve 15 of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals through products and solutions that improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, purify water, minimize waste and lead to the efficient use of raw materials. Solar and wind Two renewable sources of energy that bring hope of a brighter future. They reduce the carbon footprint dramatically and are expected to account for half the world’s electricity generation in ten years’ time. There is only one big problem: when the sun is not shining and the wind does not blow, no power is generated. Unless the energy can be stored effectively on a large scale. As part-owner of a new company, Alfa Laval’s knowledge and expertise is playing an important role in turning this challenge into reality. Our unique and specially designed heat exchangers convert electrical energy from solar and wind plants into thermal energy. The heat is then stored and preserved in gigantic bays of molten salt – like a natural battery – waiting to be awakened and transformed back into electricity when needed in the grid. So, even on grey days, the forecast looks bright. 5 President’s comments 2020 was a remarkable year in many ways.
