This compact pilot scrubber handles gas flows starting from 5 up to 500 m3/h and enables precise process analysis and optimization solutions, so that we often refer to this outstanding product simply as “PANOS.” It is available as a rental solution—ideal for collecting targeted data or evaluating processes - without investment risk and with maximum flexibility.
GEA Compact pilot scrubber 5-500
Process Analysis
The PANOS compact pilot scrubber allows for the detailed examination of gas flows and cleaning processes. Advanced sensors and analysis tools capture chemical and physical parameters in real-time. Continuous data recording enables a well-founded assessment of process stability and efficiency.
Plant Optimization The collected data serves as the basis for the precise design of an optimal gas scrubber using our GEA design tools. This allows efficiency potentials to be identified, operating costs to be reduced, and the performance of existing plants to be specifically improved.
Scale-Up and Process Development
The GEA compact pilot scrubber is ideally suited for testing new processes on a laboratory scale. The results enable a reliable transfer to industrial applications – with higher planning security and economic design.
Typical Applications:
- Chemical and industrial gas cleaning
- Process data collection and optimization
- Research, development, and validation
- Environmental and emissions monitoring
PANOS is the ideal solution for companies, service providers, and research institutions looking for a flexible, reliable, and technically sophisticated platform for investigating and optimizing gas cleaning processes. With its powerful equipment, the PANOS sets new standards in experimental process engineering – without long-term commitment and ready for immediate use.

GEA Insights
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.
