Evaporation Plants
Sophisticated systems integrating all components of a thermal separation process plant, utilizing various types of evaporators and heat treatment, to achieve maximum energy efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability in industrial processes.
GEA specializes in crafting bespoke evaporation solutions that precisely match each client's unique requirements, prioritizing cost-effectiveness and keeping investment and operational expenses to a minimum.
Evaporation plants are required whenever water or any other liquid needs to be removed, concentration must be increased or volume reduced, in an industrial process.
To meet any spectrum of specifications and requirements, GEA designs plant solutions offer their different evaporator types, plant layouts and heating options. Each evaporator type and heating option offers its own benefits, the best suited for every commission are selected according to the main process parameters.
Thanks to ongoing research, development work throughout more than a hundred years and the experience of several thousand installed plants, GEA continues to provide the broadest technical expertise, delivering the best solution for almost any product, evaporation rate, operating condition or application.
