Renewable fuels and Carbon Capture
In this refinery application series on Renewable fuels and Carbon Capture; explore how Alfa Laval's welded heat exchanger technologies have been applied to debottleneck, increase capacity, reduce CAPEX, increase energy efficiency & reduce utilities
Application leaflets
To produce fuels with equivalent or even higher qualities than today, hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) processing is quickly becoming the preferred solution for such production.
Hydrogen is becoming a more important feedstock for removing impurities in hydrotreatment processes, maximizing yield of high-value products in hydrocrackers, and producing renewable fuels in HVO plants

Reduce carbon intensity while improving bottom line in the refining sector
Interest in renewable fuels, including renewable diesel, continues to grow because of regulations and industry pressure to reduce the carbon content of fuels. While there are incentives in the market that reward investors in creating energy efficient plants, traditional process design philosophies and technology applications prevent them from reaching this goal.
