Alfa Laval has won one of its largest industrial filtration orders: the advanced filtration solution will be used in a modern factory in Asia and is proof that Alfa Laval’s technologies can be used in many different industries.
Alfa Laval has been building an advanced membrane filtration solution, which will be delivered to a major Asian customer later in 2025 for installation in an industrial plant. This plant is the largest of its kind in Asia, and the order, valued at approximately €8 million, is one of the largest membrane orders for Alfa Laval.
“We are very proud to have been chosen as the membrane supplier for this project, as it is a very advanced plant that requires great expertise in membrane filtration. Both financially and in terms of scope, it is a large project that shows that we are at the forefront when it comes to developing customer-specific plants,” said Managing Director Sally Ann Skelmose from Alfa Laval.
The filtration plant, which is capable of both nano and ultrafiltration, will be constructed in a new and modern factory for a global company. It will comprise 30 large containers that will be shipped to the customer in the autumn. Until then, Alfa Laval’s various departments in its Nakskov business unit will work closely together to ensure an optimal filtration solution for the customer that will deliver a high level of product purity.
Alfa Laval’s membrane technology is also widely used in, among other things, wastewater treatment and the food industry – helping to ensure more sustainable production and a circular-economy perspective through ease of maintenance, maximised resource recovery, and a low operating cost.
“When working on a large and advanced plant such as this, it is a great advantage to be able to tap into all our accumulated expertise. This means that engineers, software developers, designers, metalworkers, and electricians are all working together to develop a solution that suits the needs of the individual customer. With this type of plant, you cannot use standard solutions,” added Ole Wibom, Membrane Engineering & Supply Manager at Alfa Laval, and continued: “Because of the expertise that we have built up in Nakskov, we can advise the customer from start to finish and develop plants in collaboration with them. This means that the solution is adapted to the customer's needs, and we thus achieve a more optimal solution.”
The new order for the customer in Asia is scheduled for delivery in the autumn of 2025.
