Stop wasting money and energy – Invest in a sustainable future now
The imperative for change
According to the World Economic Forum, the manufacturing and production sectors account for 20% of global carbon emissions. As climate change accelerates, the pressure to decarbonize industries increases. Sustainability is no longer optional – it’s essential. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is now a top priority, and companies are increasingly committed to carbon reduction programs.
Energy efficiency is often referred to as the ‘first fuel’ of decarbonization. To fully capitalize on energy efficiency, the key is to incorporate it early in your projects, choose the right technology, and optimize the process.
We provide online calculators to help you estimate energy saving
Our simplified saving calculation tools can estimate how much energy you can save when using our efficient plate heat exchanger technology, either by ensuring they are serviced optimally or by reusing your waste heat. In addition to the energy saving you will also get a monetary value estimate, as well as a calculation of the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and water consumption.
Optimized service could hunt back waste energy from 8000 kWh per year, and the payback time on investment in heat recovery is usually very low, ranging from a couple of months to a few years.
Get started with Alfa Laval today!
A critical step toward energy efficiency is to replace shell-and-tube heat exchangers with plate heat exchangers. Use our online calculators to estimate your potential energy savings. These tools estimate energy reduction, along with your cost savings, CO2 emissions reduction, water savings, and more.
Ensuring long-term performance
Regular service is necessary for maintaining the high performance and reliability of your heat exchangers. Over time, even the best equipment can suffer from fouling or scaling, leading to reduced heat transfer efficiency. Predictive maintenance ensures your equipment operates at peak efficiency, minimizing downtime, energy consumption, and operational costs Ready to start your energy efficiency journey? Use our online tool to calculate your potential savings from regular service.

Industrial waste heat recovery
Recovering industrial waste heat is one of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency on a global scale. By recovering energy that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere or water and reusing it for other purposes, we can greatly reduce fuel consumption compared with today’s levels. As a result, we can also drastically reduce global carbon emissions.
Energy balance
Papermaking requires huge amounts of energy to maintain the heating and cooling processes the industry requires. Finland-based UPM-Kymmene, Europe’s biggest forest industry group and one of the world’s largest paper manufacturers, has fine-tuned the balance between heating and cooling processes, resulting in surplus energy.
Steam recovery
Sappi Maastricht paper mill, the Netherlands, needed to replace their shell and tube heat exchanger which was frequently leaking. In addition it was difficult to access and expensive to maintain. AlfaCond solved the problems.
Sulphuric acid heat recovery
Economic and sustainability gains with sulphuric acid heat recovery. Following a total reconstruction of the cooling system at the Kemira sulphuric acid plant, the temperature of the cooling water has been raised to a level at which it can be used for district heating.
Waste heat recovery
With the right heat exchanger technology, you can recover high temperature heat generated by industrial processes, as well as lower temperature heat captured by heat pumps in, for example, data center cooling or water treatment applications. This heat can then be used for applications ranging from district heating to producing electricity.
Service to optimize energy efficiency
Optimize the heat transfer efficiency of your plate heat exchangers by servicing them correctly. Efficient plate heat exchangers and the right service can save 100 GW and 50 million tonnes of CO2.
The Energy Efficiency Movement
What is more sustainable than energy that hasn’t been produced in the first place? That’s why energy efficiency is our ‘first fuel’ for decarbonizing the future. We just need to make it happen. That’s why Alfa Laval has joined the Energy Efficiency Movement.
Join us as part of the open-door initiative to accelerate the implementation of energy efficient solutions. Together we can accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future. Discover what the Energy Efficiency Movement is all about.
