Skid Mounted Distillation Units

The fabrication of compact skid mounted units for smaller product quantities has several advantages for our client:
GEA´s skid mounted units are limited to/by the transporting dimensions. If necessary the required units are split in subunits and are interconnected on site.

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.

GEA uses different types of reboilers for the energy input to the distillation columns. The choice of the suitable type depends on surrounding process and product parameters.

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.
