With Alfa Laval Olmi as your partner you can secure high performance technology and profitability.
Having produced heat exchangers for hightemperature and high-pressure applications for more than 80 years, Alfa Laval Olmi is a valued partner to petrochemical plants, refineries, oil and gas production facilities and power stations around the world.
Applications
Refining
High efficiency, low costs and a focus on sustainability are essential factors for staying competitive in the oil refining business. Alfa Laval Olmi’s solutions for refineries offer a straightforward way to improve profitability while ensuring maximal reliability and product quality. Together with your process engineers, our experts create highly efficient solutions that will take your refinery to the next level
Petrochemicals
Petrochemical producers demand continuous processes and sustainable performance. Alfa Laval Olmi has a broad range of heat exchangers that provide cost-effective energy recovery as well as improve heating and cooling, and condensing and reboiling duties. This boosts profitability while reducing costs, floor space and emissions.
Fertilizers
Urea is one of the most important agricultural fertilizers.
A large part of the ammonia produced in the world is transformed into urea in plants installed downstream of ammonia production units.
Alfa Laval Olmi started manufacturing high-pressure heat exchangers for urea synthesis in 1987 and over the years we have been able to acquire a considerable share of the market.
As a process Licensor’s qualified supplier of Snamprogetti and Urea Casale, we have been supplying bimetallic and titanium strippers with a production capacity up to 3.835 MTPD of urea.
Product range includes carbamate condensers, melamine reactors and scrubbers
Offshore
Our Alfa Laval Olmi exchangers for offshore installation are normally made with high alloys or Titanium. Our engineers can guarantee a step ahead in knowledge and manufacturing expertise.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG)
Alfa Laval Olmi products are suitable to be installed into LNG and FLNG (floating liquefied natural gas) plants. Our portfolio offers a wide range of solutions, such as shell-and-tube heat exchangers, air-cooled heat exchangers and printed-circuit heat exchangers (PCHE). These products are largely used for low temperature designs, typically applied in LNG plants. Our compact equipment allows to meet our customers’ target to install our exchanger into a limited space available on FLNG vessels. For this purpose, the PCHEs in stainless steel are the best solution: first-class efficiency with the smallest possible footprint.
Gas processing / fraction plants
Quench coolers are the key of the chemical plants: the gas produced by cracking is cooled down rapidly (quenching), generating steam which is collected into high-pressure steam drums. Alfa Laval Olmi equipment has been successfully operating since 1993: transfer line exchangers (TLE – patented), primary quench exchangers (PQE), secondary quench exchangers (SQE), tertiary quench exchangers (TQE).
