A number of diverse industries, including the chemicals and pharmaceuticals sectors, process inorganic and organic fluids. Many of these fluids, such as solvents, have inherent value, and others contain valuable substances such as minerals, chemical compounds, or nutrients such as proteins.
Ideally, industry aims to increase the service life of these fluids, which not only reduces waste, costs and the use of resources, but can also increase the life of the equipment that they come into operating contact with.
GEA’s expertise and wide-ranging technology portfolios in the areas of evaporation, distillation, membrane filtration and centrifugal separation, mean that we can offer tailor-made equipment for treating industrial fluids, including additional upstream or downstream processing steps. Our plants achieve optimum results for water quality and for the recovery of valuable substances.
GEA further supplies equipment such as jet and vacuum pumps for conveying liquids such as water, oil, acids or alkalis, as well as solids such as sand, gravel, salt, activated carbon, and ion exchange resin, for the treatment of industrial fluids.

Centrifugal Separator
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...
Decanter Centrifuge
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...
Distillation Test Facilities at Karlsruhe R&D Center
With state-of-the-art pilot plants and test benches our R & D Center is optimally equipped for testing in the fields of distillation technology.
Ejector Systems
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".

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
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.
New food tipping point
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.
