Dear Partner,

Dear Partner,

Tobias Häggblom works as a Business Director responsible for our Energy team. In his daily work, he enjoys rising to a challenge instead of giving up and finds meaning in working for a company with sound values.

Vahterus provides Plate & Shell Heat Exchanger design for building-heat packages manufactured by Preston Phipps. The compact design makes it possible to manufacture skid assemblies that can handle large loads and take up a much smaller footprint.

In September 2019, Vahterus supplied a critical-charge combined ice-rink chiller, to Ultimate Fabrication Inc, located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The new cooling system was designed with an environmental gain in mind, not only by switching from R-22 to ammonia, but also by maximising electrical and thermal efficiency. The Vahterus PSHE Combined Chiller (a chiller with an integrated separator in one shell) was a key component in the upgrade project of the NHL and studio-size ice rinks in the Cabin John Ice Arena.

The use of natural gas around the world is growing and in energy production, the traditional oil and coal are expected to be eclipsed by natural gas use in the coming years.

The global challenges posed by the climate crisis, Covid-19 and the drop in oil prices are spurring innovation. Pharmaceutical companies are striving to produce vaccines and new medicines, while natural refrigerants and cold recovery through LNG are becoming increasingly energy-efficient solutions.

Ningdong, situated 900 kilometers west of Beijing, is poised to emerge as a key hub for petrochemical refining of mineral coal in Asia. With an estimated 27 billion tons of mineral coal deposit, the facility aims to boost industrial capacity, producing 20 million tons of finished products annually within the next decade.

At the end of 2009, technicians at DONG’s combined heat and power plant (acquired by VEKS in May 2012), in Köge, Denmark, contacted one of our distributors about the replacement of an existing heat exchanger.

Vahterus’ LNG journey began in 2005. Through extensive R&D work and with over 300 heat exchangers delivered to cryogenic LNG applications, we’re now leaders in the field. In this special issue, we introduce our work in LNG applications.
