GEA Compact pilot scrubber 5-500

In many cases, processes cannot be fully described in advance – whether due to a lack of data or complex operating conditions. For precisely such challenges, we offer the GEA compact pilot scrubber 5 - 500: an advanced device for the analysis, validation, and experimental investigation of gas cleaning processes.

This compact pilot scrubber handles gas flows starting from 5 up to 500 m³/h and enables precise process analysis and optimization solutions, so that we often refer to this outstanding product simply as “PANOS.” It is available as a rental solution—ideal for collecting targeted data or evaluating processes - without investment risk and with maximum flexibility.

Process Analysis

The PANOS compact pilot scrubber allows for the detailed examination of gas flows and cleaning processes. Advanced sensors and analysis tools capture chemical and physical parameters in real-time. Continuous data recording enables a well-founded assessment of process stability and efficiency.

Plant Optimization The collected data serves as the basis for the precise design of an optimal gas scrubber using our GEA design tools. This allows efficiency potentials to be identified, operating costs to be reduced, and the performance of existing plants to be specifically improved.

 

Scale-Up and Process Development

The GEA compact pilot scrubber is ideally suited for testing new processes on a laboratory scale. The results enable a reliable transfer to industrial applications – with higher planning security and economic design.

 

Typical Applications:

• Chemical and industrial gas cleaning
• Process data collection and optimization
• Research, development, and validation
• Environmental and emissions monitoring

PANOS is the ideal solution for companies, service providers, and research institutions looking for a flexible, reliable, and technically sophisticated platform for investigating and optimizing gas cleaning processes. With its powerful equipment, the PANOS sets new standards in experimental process engineering – without long-term commitment and ready for immediate use.
