Production lines with optimized integrated process steps
For existing plants GEA can validate the process lines and develop concepts for obtaining a higher plant efficiency with the attention to the feasibility of the sighted/focused measures.
As the customers’ requirements on the design of a new plant differ a lot from each other- our solutions are individually adapted to the tasks.
Intensive relationships between the client´s side and GEA are necessary throughout the project for achieving optimum results and for considering the production process entirely.
Very variable plant concepts are the outcome– due to different raw materials, disposable resources, logistics, national guidelines and other constraints to be respected.
The goal stays the same for all solutions: to figure out the best production processes for our clients for shortest ROI and for lowest total costs of ownership.
Especially the design of entire process lines offers GEA the possibility to make use of its creativity, excellence and technical knowledge.
Where product purities superior to feasible concentrations through rectification are required, one of these technologies come to operation: Molecular Sieve Technology, Distillation with Entrainer, and Pervaporation through Hydrophilic Membranes.
The thermal vapor recompression applies steam jets to raise the temperature level of vapor flows in the plant. Condensation of these boosted flows is then used for the heating or evaporating of lower temperature process flows. Thereby the steam consumption is minimized.
The fabrication of compact skid mounted units for smaller product quantities has several advantages for our client.
The core of the distillation range of products is the multiple-effect pressure/vacuum rectification system. The design is largely determined by the characteristic properties of the feed and the specific requirements of the final product.
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.
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.
