Evaporation Technology
R&D Experience and expertise won over many decades, Test facilities available for laboratory and pilot plant testing for different kinds of evaporator systems.
Resulting from many decades of ongoing research and development work, tied with the experience gained through several thousand installed plants, GEA offers the broadest technical expertise and undisputed skill to understand and develop the best thermal separation solution for almost any product, evaporation rate, operating condition or application.
With state-of-the-art pilot plants and test benches, our Evaporation Test Centers are optimally equipped for a wide range of testing in the field of evaporation technology.
GEA's physics and chemical laboratory is designed to determine and analyze important properties such as viscosity, boiling point elevation, thermal conductivity and total solids concentration. Moreover, complex quality parameters can be determined with GC and HPLC.
The latest software and hardware allow us to simulate the optimal operating behavior of the plants according to individual customer specifications.
GEA R&D offers:
Among the latest software and hardware for control and automatization, following pilot plants are available for testing:
Mobile plants can be controlled and monitored with a remote-control system, allowing that the tests are performed directly on our customers` premises while the process data can be electronically recorded and analyzed.
We have also the possibility to combine different pilot plants to develop entirely process lines according to the customer's needs (e.g. membrane filtration, distillation, evaporation, centrifuge, decanter, dryer, etc.)
Best suited for temperature-sensitive products and liquids with small amounts of solids and going up to high concentrations
For applications involving large throughputs of process solution with a relatively low concentration factor and other applications.
Skid mounted Falling Film and Forced Circulation Evaporators for small-scale production. Energy efficient, easy to transport and assemble.
Best, but not only, for extreme evaporation conditions or liquids containing only small amounts of undissolved solids with a low tendency to form incrustations
GEA helps customers test and scale alternative egg products and ingredients made with precision fermentation.
When it comes to improving the health of the planet, GEA takes a leading role. As one of our sustainability-focused strategic objectives, we are forging a path to help our customers across myriad industries to reduce energy use...
