The meVap® is our brand name for all processes heated with mechanical vapor recompression. GEA meVap® provides a powerful, future‑ready solution for decarbonizing industrial processes.

Product family GEA meVap®
Across all four product areas, the unifying principle is the temperature increase generated by electrically driven mechanical fans. This higher temperature serves as an efficient energy source for downstream thermal process steps. The meVap® concept combines two strong components into one integrated solution:
GEA has been a pioneer in this field for decades and offers an extensive track record of successful installations. As one of Germany’s top 40 industrial companies, GEA provides cross‑industry expertise, solid financial strength, and long‑term reliability. Innovation is driven by in‑house R&D and the transfer of concepts across different application areas.
GEA takes a holistic approach to process engineering, focusing equally on plant performance, operational simplicity, and user‑friendliness. meVap® systems offer strong performance reserves, ensuring stable operation even under challenging conditions. Customers trust GEA not only for proven technology and process know‑how, but also for its strong global presence and comprehensive service network—today and in the future.
Mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) is an advanced energy recovery technique used in thermal separation plants like evaporators, crystallizers and distillation systems that drastically reduces the external energy input required for the process, resulting both in significantly improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs.
