Cooling, quenching & conditioning

The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.

GEA technology is the standard in gas cleaning plants of the global players. Together with the world market leaders, we continue to develop our technology to always stay competitive.

Our portfolio includes a series of cooling and quench solutions, which can also be combined depending on the application. 


A Quench Tower or a hot gas Quench System is often the first step in conditioning a high-temperature and polluted air stream so that particulate, acid gases, metals, and other emissions can be appropriately removed. 

GEA offers various cooling and conditioning units:

  • Gas conditioning tower (Evaporative gas cooler)
  • Quench cooler
  • Hot gas quench system
  • Packed column cooler
