Industrial fluids
Equipment and Systems for the Treatment of Industrial Fluids
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".

GEA reports profitable growth for 2025 and expects accelerated revenue growth
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
How SmartParc is rewriting the rules of food production
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
The food science playground
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
