Minerals & inorganic chemicals
From alumina to zinc compounds, GEA is able to offer customers high performance process systems and in-depth application know-how, giving an overall distinct competitive advantage to produce at high rates, reduced cost and improved efficiency.
Whether your feed is in liquid, suspended Crystal or solid form, we help you find the right solution:
Evaporation and Crystallization
In the chemical industry GEA evaporators and crystallizers are integrated in various production processes for inorganic products and organic compounds. Our wide range of proprietary equipment includes large capacity pre-evaporator systems as well as fine chemicals crystallization units.
References include: Sodium and Potassium chloride, Sodium and Ammonium sulphate, Potassium nitrate or Potassium and Sodium carbonate.
Drying
A complete range of industrial drying systems to dry granules, cakes, powders, sludges and slurries. Feed material can be in liquid, suspended crystal or solid form.
GEA helps industrials meet different efficiency, safety and environmental requirements. As may inorganic chemicals often include hazardous ingredients, all our plants are designed to meet the strictest standards related to explosion and emission control systems.

GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.
The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...
Ejectors, are devices for the conveyance, compression or mixing of gases, vapors, liquids or solids in which a gaseous or liquid medium serves as the motive force. They are "pumps without moving parts".
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
As anti-cancer drugs become more powerful and complex, GEA is redefining how to safely freeze-dry these life-saving treatments.
