Chemical industry
This year at ACHEMA we will be presenting our innovative process engineering solutions to support the global transition to a zero-carbon economy.
Our machinery and solutions work behind the scenes to optimize processes, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. We actively innovate to safeguard natural resources, reduce and recycle waste, living up to our purpose of Engineering for a Better World.
Battery materials
GEA Battery recycling: giving lithium-ion batteries a second life.
End-of-life batteries contain valuable materials like lithium, coblat, manganese & nickel. Their recovery for their reuse in the production of new batteries is possible with our evaporation, crystallization & drying expertise.
GEA solvent recovery for battery materials production
With our multiple-effect distillation plants, we provide broad capabilities for a highly-efficient removal, recovery and purification of solvents.
GEA spray dryers for lithium battery materials
Open and closed-cycle spray dryers for the efficient drying of anode and cathode materials used in the production of advanced battery compounds such as LFP and Si-C.
Circular economy
GEA especially-designed wash columns for highest product purity.
The efficient washing action provided by GEA wash column is unmatched by any other solid/liquid separation device. Our wash columns can effectively remove all the mother liquor and deliver ultra-high purity products.
GEA for polycotton textile recycling
In the age of disrupted supply chains because of geopolitics, climate change and raw materials scarcity, responsible recycling offers a strategic advantage to apparel manufacturers -making possible to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time, bringing circularity to an industry that has struggled with it in the past.
Evaporation & Drying
GEA CompaCon® Evaporators
The next big thing on small scale production. Skid-mounted Falling Film and Forced Circulation Evaporators. Easy to transpor, assemble, install and operate.
New atomizer with double capacity and reduced maintenance - A20D Atomizer
The new A20D atomizer for spray dryers has twice the capacity of its predecessor, and features improved hygienic design, but also requires less maintenance. Visit our stand to find out more.
Sustainability
GEA Electrification of thermal processes: powering with electricity instead of steam.
GEA offers its Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) technology for all new and already existing evaporation & distillation plants, increasing plant capacity while reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
GEA Steam Jet Cooling Systems for direct liquid cooling without refrigerant.
The environmentally and financially friendly solution to your cooling needs. Be it acids, lye, suspensions or more, GEA has more than 50 years of experience designing and constructing flash cooling plants.
GEA AddCool® for sustainable spray drying
GEA's cutting-edge high-temperature heat pump solution enables you to reduce the carbon footprint of your spray drying plant by minimizing fossil fuel and primary energy consumption.
Centrifugal separation
Development and scale up of chemical processes: GEA chemical Centrifuges and Decanters
Securing your investments. GEA is forerunner in process development and scale up. It is deeply rooted in the GEA DNA. The process development from GEA makes your new up-coming application a success with plannable performance. GEA offers a rounded testing package for all applications and technologies with diverse functions, which has one overall aim: The satisfaction of the customer with his installation and the associated machines. Take the opportunity to make your mark in your next process development with GEA. Meet the experts at ACHEMA.
Homogenizers
GEA PandaSMART lab homogenizer
The new PandaSMART is the most automated table-top homogenizer, the perfect solution for the pharma laboratories and R&D centers requesting cGMP and data recording. It includes PLC with HMI, suitable for CFR21 and GAMP certifications.
GEA Rhino high-pressure homogenizers and radial colliders
GEA Rhino High-pressure Homogenizers and Radial Colliders with Zero-Gasket execution option are for heavy duty industrial applications requiring high pressure up to 200 MPa and high abrasion, adhesion and solvent resistance coming from challenging products (eg. Carbon, Cellulose, Industrial Bio cell disruption etc.)
Chemical processes
GEA Hybrid Vacuum Systems for producing vacuum within critical areas
The combination of Liquid Jet Vacuum Pumps and Steam Jet Vacuum Pumps is used to produce vacuum within critical areas such as dirty suction conditions, demanding atex conditions and steam saving within chemcial applications where LRVPs are not a suitable option.
GEA graphite ejector for highly corrosive applications
Multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps in graphite are used to extract corrosive gases and vapors, particularly where halogen compounds are present and stainless are not sufficiently resistant.
Emission Control
GEA Bubble columnt reactor: emission control for temperature-sensitive substances.
Bubble columns allow to conduct and control chemical reactions in the liquid phase when the reactions are rather slow in relation to the gas absorption rate.
GEA technology for efficient aerosol and small particles separation.
The aerosol and particulate matter removal system is full of advantages and uses the principle of inertia to effectively separate aerosols.
GEA Wet gas scrubbers
GEA tailor-made-solutions for the efficient multi-pollutant cleaning of process-and-exhaust gases in diverse applications.
Hydrogen
GEA Jet compressors for the reliable production of green hydrogen.
GEA especially-designed liquid jet gas compressors are now a standard key component in the green hydrogen production process. Ideal to deal with hydorgen’s explosivity, combustion risk and explosions of pure oxygen.
