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.

The water equation
Across Europe, drought is a recurring reality – and no longer confined to the south. While water increasingly shapes where industries locate, its value is determined by local context. There are many technological routes to water efficiency in industrial processes, but location, energy needs and other factors are also key.
