Alfa Laval is a global company with three key product areas: heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling. We have sales in more than 100 countries and in 2022 the order intake was about 5 500 million euro. The number of employees is about 20 000.

The Master thesis project

Contherm® is a single-wall scraped-surface heat exchanger (SSHE) designed for continuous and semi-continuous processing of an extremely broad range of viscosities. Its unique design offers impressive flexibility in heating and cooling operations for numerous products, with or without particles.

The objective of the master thesis project is to create a cradle to grave life cycle assessment for the Contherm – Single wall. This will include quantifying the energy and material used and emissions released at each stage of the products life cycle. From the result it will be possible to analyze and give guidance on possible design improvements, material selection or process changes to reduce the footprint of the product.
