Alfa Laval has entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of CVR Energy Inc to supply processing systems for feedstock pre-treatment as the US-based refining company expands into biofuel production.
Alfa Laval will supply pre-treatment systems, including pumps, separators, heat exchangers and agitators, to reduce contaminants in the feedstocks before conversion into biofuel. The systems are intended to support a more cost-effective supply of sustainable feedstocks.
As part of the ongoing energy transition, many refineries in the US and Europe are being converted into biofuels plants.
