Liquid-liquid extraction
GEA separators for pharma extraction are designed in accordance to GMP requirements. No shear forces acting on the product by the patented hydrohermetic feed and hydrostop system for controlled partial ejections. The clarifiers are suitable for fully automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP).

GEA separators cover all processes of liquid-liquid extractions, whether in one or more stages on the concurrent, counter-current and cross-current principles. Centrifugal extraction by GEA clarifiers bear the following advantages:
Reduced operating costs, low solvent requirement. Higher overall yield by short contact times. Reduced investment costs by high stage efficiency minimizing the number of stages. Optimum throughput capacity with minimum space requirement. Higher overall yield with a significant improvement in substance interchange between the phases by avoiding backmixing. Higher overall yield qualities. Higher process security and availability.

GEA clarifiers for pharma extraction are used in solid-liquid extraction processes with low solid contents (up to approx. 7 % by vol.).

Even the best centrifuges cannot function optimally if they are not partnered with control systems of equal quality. For their range of separators and decanters, GEA offers standardized as well as tailor-made solutions for machine automation with many features to meet customer requirements.

GEA centrifuges enable wastewater reuse, resource recovery, and water security by turning biosolids into value in a world facing growing water scarcity.
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
