Production lines with optimized integrated process steps
For existing plants GEA can validate the process lines and develop concepts for obtaining a higher plant efficiency with the attention to the feasibility of the sighted/focused measures.
As the customers’ requirements on the design of a new plant differ a lot from each other- our solutions are individually adapted to the tasks.
Intensive relationships between the client´s side and GEA are necessary throughout the project for achieving optimum results and for considering the production process entirely.
Very variable plant concepts are the outcome– due to different raw materials, disposable resources, logistics, national guidelines and other constraints to be respected.
The goal stays the same for all solutions: to figure out the best production processes for our clients for shortest ROI and for lowest total costs of ownership.
Especially the design of entire process lines offers GEA the possibility to make use of its creativity, excellence and technical knowledge.
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.
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.
The fabrication of compact skid mounted units for smaller product quantities has several advantages for our client.
The core of the distillation range of products is the multiple-effect pressure/vacuum rectification system. The design is largely determined by the characteristic properties of the feed and the specific requirements of the final product.
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.
In a shifting political and economic landscape, GEA stays the course. We spoke with Dr. Nadine Sterley, GEA’s Chief Sustainability Officer, about why sustainability remains central to the company’s business strategy, how GEA is progressing on its ambitious goals and what it takes to turn words into action.
