The cultivation of algae, or "algae farming," holds significant potential to provide effective answers to some of the world's most critical challenges, including the relentless rise in crude oil prices, the competition for resources related to the demand for biofuels and food, and the need to address the continuously increasing global population. One of the most anticipated fields, biofuels, contributes as an energy source that can replace traditional fossil fuels and help mitigate the increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. At Alfa Laval, we offer disc-type centrifuges, decanter centrifuges, and membrane separation devices that can be applied in algae farms, particularly in the fermentation stage of the process.

The disk-type centrifuge achieves an extensive separation sedimentation area of over 10,000 m² with a footprint of just 1 m² by stacking conical (umbrella-shaped) disks (separation plates) that open downward around a rotating axis. This allows for large-scale and high-speed separation in a small space. Hundreds of disks are stacked with a spacing of 0.5 mm, and a centrifugal force of 5,000 to 15,000 G is applied between the disks, resulting in instantaneous separation. Continuous separation of solid/liquid and liquid/liquid mixtures with particle sizes down to 0.1 microns and a specific gravity difference of 2% is possible. 【Advantages】 ● Capable of solid/liquid, liquid/liquid, and liquid/liquid/solid separation ● Maximum centrifugal force of 15,000 G ● Particles down to 0.1 microns can be separated without filter aids or coagulants ● Small retention volume allows for quick switching of processing liquids and stopping of processing ● Automation is extremely simple, reducing labor costs ● Sealed operation is possible when exposure to air is not allowed ● Separation occurs instantaneously, minimizing changes in the processing liquid ● Fully continuous operation allows for long hours of unmanned operation ● Explosion-proof specifications are available ● Extremely small installation space *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

The self-cleaning rotary jet head "TZ-74" performs impact cleaning according to a 3D specified pattern. This device serves as a guarantee means to ensure the quality of tank cleaning in an automated system. It is suitable for processes, storage, and transport tanks and containers ranging from 50 to 500 m3 (13,000 to 130,000 US gallons). When used in brewing, food, and dairy industries, automatic cleaning of the device and down pipes is strictly required, and the "TZ-74" has achieved particularly notable results in the brewing industry worldwide. In terms of operation, the nozzle rotates around both vertical and horizontal axes in a geared manner due to the flow of the cleaning liquid. First, the nozzle draws a coarse pattern on the inner surface of the tank, and then it circulates in 8 cycles, gradually tightening the pattern spacing until a complete pattern is achieved. By selecting the diameter of the nozzle, the length and flow rate of the jet impact at the required pressure can be optimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

The rotating spray head "SaniMidget" offers high efficiency, replacing conventional low-pressure, low-flow fixed spray balls. It is particularly suitable for sanitary applications and can be used in tanks with capacities ranging from 0.1 to 10m³ (27 to 2,700 US gallons). The flow of the cleaning solution causes the "SaniMidget" head to rotate, creating a fan-shaped spray pattern that reaches every corner of the container. This generates a flow that creates a swinging impact and cascades down the inner walls of the tank or reactor. The self-cleaning function ensures that the cleaning solution reaches the rotating bearing track and the elongated neck of the head. Spray patterns available include 360°, 270° up, and 180° down.

◆－Waste Heat Recovery "Optimizing Energy Systems"－◆ In recent years, the soaring energy prices have become a significant challenge for many factories. The era of low energy prices has come to an end, and energy efficiency has become one of the major factors influencing the success or failure of companies. Many process industries are already implementing waste heat recovery, but it is not uncommon for them to use shell & tube heat exchangers for this purpose. In most cases, simply replacing shell & tube heat exchangers with compact heat exchangers can significantly improve energy efficiency, promising high investment returns. This technical document introduces a wealth of know-how for optimizing energy systems through waste heat recovery and generating profits from waste heat. We encourage you to take a look at it. *For more details, please check [Contact Us] and [Catalog Download].*

Alfa Laval's magnetic mixer (patented) synchronizes the impeller inside the tank with the external drive head through built-in magnets. Unlike other magnetic mixers, this impeller does not sit on guide bearings when stationary; it floats on a powerful magnetic field. This eliminates contact and friction with the shaft, significantly reducing the likelihood of bearing failure. Alfa Laval's magnetic mixer can operate continuously without issues until complete discharge, regardless of the liquid level in the tank.

It has a structure that maintains the high efficiency of heat transfer performance of plate heat exchangers while eliminating the risk of mixing between the two fluids. In the case of a double-wall heat exchanger, if either of the two fluids flowing through the heat exchanger leaks, it will manifest as a leak to the outside of the heat exchanger, allowing for maintenance to be performed by halting operation.

The Pharma-X heat exchanger uses a unique triple-tube structure with a tube-in-tube design, where the product liquid flows through the central tube and the heating/cooling medium flows through the inner and outer tubes. Additionally, spiral coils are arranged in each flow path to create uniform spacing between the flow paths and increase heat transfer efficiency. Turbulence minimizes the risk of biofilm formation. The three tubes and spirals are bent at a 180-degree angle to form a U-shape. Due to its compact design, space can be utilized optimally. The U-tube absorbs thermal expansion, allowing it to operate without issues across a wide temperature range as a cooling and heating device, and it is also capable of steam sterilization.

Wide gap plate heat exchangers were developed for the purpose of heat exchange involving fluids containing fibers or coarse particles, as well as fluids with high viscosity. They accommodate fluids that tend to clog in conventional "plate" or other types of heat exchangers with wide gap channels (flow paths) of 16mm or 22mm. This design prevents blockages within the unit even with fluids that are prone to clogging, significantly reducing the frequency of cleaning. Additionally, the unique wavy plates generate advanced turbulence in the fluid, dramatically enhancing heat exchange efficiency.
