Feasibility studies

For complex separation challenges, a feasibility study is often the first step in identifying the most effective process strategy. At our test center, we help customers evaluate: Distillation and rectification performance Solvent recovery and purification Removal of volatile compounds Product concentration Separation of complex multicomponent mixtures Recovery of valuable process streams Treatment of difficult, viscous or foaming products Using only small product volumes, our experts generate process data that supports informed process selection and plant design.  

Pilot testing

Pilot-scale trials provide critical insight into distillation performance under realistic operating conditions. The resulting data supports reliable process optimization and scale-up while helping to reduce project risk. Our pilot plants enable evaluation of: Column internals and separation efficiency Reflux ratios and operating conditions Product quality and purity targets Energy requirements and heat integration concepts Fouling tendencies Foaming behavior Process stability and controllability The process data generated during testing feeds directly into plant design and performance calculations for commercial installations.

Analytical services

Reliable product characterization is essential for accurate process development and design. Our laboratories can determine critical physical and chemical properties, including: Viscosity Boiling point elevation Dry matter content Thermal conductivity Product composition Component concentrations Advanced analytical techniques such as GC and HPLC enable detailed characterization of feed streams, intermediates and final products. 

Digital process simulation

In addition to physical testing, GEA uses advanced process simulation tools to evaluate plant performance and optimize system configurations. By combining experimental results with digital modeling, we can: Predict scale-up behavior Compare process alternatives Optimize energy efficiency Evaluate operating scenarios Refine plant configurations before implementation This integrated approach helps reduce uncertainty and accelerate project development.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying

In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.

Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance

Além da máquina: como alcançar um melhor desempenho da planta

Uma máquina eficiente não significa, por si só, uma fábrica eficiente. A verdadeira melhoria geralmente começa quando se vai além dos equipamentos individuais e se compreende como os processos, os sistemas de energia e as decisões operacionais se afetam mutuamente. É uma abordagem integral concebida para identificar oportunidades que, de outra forma, poderiam passar despercebidas.

How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made

Como uma válvula revoluciona a forma como alimentos e bebidas são produzidos

Em plantas de alimentos e bebidas, as válvulas são normalmente acionadas por meio de ar comprimido. A GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology aciona as válvulas por meio de água, em um circuito fechado e controlado digitalmente. O resultado é uma válvula que pode ser mantida exatamente no lugar e ajustada em etapas precisas. Isso resulta em menor consumo de energia e maior controle.
