Swedish heat transfer, centrifugal separation and fluid handling firm Alfa Laval has won an order to supply compact heat exchangers for two FPSOs to be moored offshore Angola.
The order is worth about SEK 50 million (US$6.6 million) and delivery is scheduled for 2015.
The order comprises compact heat exchangers for various duties, such as cooling, heating and condensation, in the processing of crude oil on-board the FPSOs (floating production storage and offloading vessels).
“This is yet another order related to the oil and gas industry, this time to the offshore sector. It proves our products’ performance and reliability in these heavy duties,” says Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group.
Angola is the second-largest oil producer in Sub-Saharan Africa, after Nigeria, and that it produced 1.8 million barrels per day of petroleum and other liquids in 2013.
