Wet scrubbers
Wet scrubber have 3 main tasks:
- Cooling/saturation of gas flow by evaporation of water
- Dust removal by using inertia effect
- Removal of harmful gases by using absorption (dissolving of gaseous substances in liquids)
GEA offers a complete series of scrubber types which can be combined with each other, depending on the application and on the specific requirements. Customized needs are optimally taken into account. A high purity of the exhaust air and low residual product quantities are ensured.
The following scrubber types are used depending on the respective application:
- Jet scrubbers
- Submerged scrubbers
- Venturi scrubbers
- Columns
The apparatuses specified above are ideally suitable for dust removal, absorbing pollutants as well as for recovering valuable substances.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
