Evaporation Technology
Robust, simple and easy maintenance. Multi-Flash Evaporators with shell-and-tube heat exchangers.
The Multi-flash Evaporators, thanks to a combination of multiple effect pre-heater systems for heat recovery, followed by multi-stage flash evaporation; result advantageous for applications that involve large throughputs with a relatively low concentration factor -as in the Alumina industry.
For applications with low boiling point elevation, the Multi-flash Evaporators turn out to be quite cost-saving, both from an investment and operational point of view.
The liquid to be concentrated is heated in a series of heat exchangers and then routed into a cascade of flash vessels with a pressure gradient.
Upon entering a vessel, part of the liquid flashes into vapor while the remaining liquid is cooled down.
The produced vapor is used to heat the feed and/or discharge flow, depending on how the flash vessels and heat exchangers are arranged. The required heat input is provided by live steam from the first heat exchanger.
The liquid is fed to the vessel at the highest pressure and then flows to the next flash vessel by gravity.
Best suited for temperature-sensitive products and liquids with small amounts of solids and going up to high concentrations
Own state-of-the-art test facilities for laboratory and pilot plant testing in the hands of our skilled R&D engineers. Backed by the solid expertise won over many decades of innovation pursuit.
Skid-mounted Falling Film and Forced Circulation Evaporators for small-scale production. Energy efficient, easy to transport and assemble.
For products insensitive to high temperatures, non-Newtonian products which allow a long residence time.
Falling Film Evaporation heated by MVR
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
