Vacuum Technology
Liquid jet solids pumps are based on proven jet pump technology and often used to convey types of solids.
Liquid jet solids pumps are used to convey sand, gravel, salt, activated carbon, ion exchange resin, and other types of solids; to fill and empty reactors with reactor mass or marble gravel in decarbonizing and deacidifying plants of water and effluent treatment plants; to add precipitating agents in dirty water and effluent water treatment.
Liquid jet solids pumps are jet pumps which, with the help of a motive liquid, can convey flowable granulate material. The material to be conveyed flows through a hopper into the jet pump.
The motive liquid, in most cases water, emerges from the motive nozzle at a high velocity into the mixing chamber of the pump, entraining the material present in the mixing chamber. Depending upon the type of material to be conveyed, rinse water must be sprayed into the hopper in order to maintain a constant flow. The mixture of liquid and material can be conveyed directly to the point of application, by pipe or hose.
Liquid jet solids pumps can also be supplied as complete units with hoper and rinse water connection. Stationary units as well as mobile units are available.
Variable - Flow Ejectors are based on proven GEA jet pump technology and often used for heat recovery.
Steam jet ventilators are based on proven jet pump technology and often used to convey air, gases and vapors.
Steam jet compressors type bv1 are based on proven jet pump technology and often used used in evaporating, distillation, cooling, crystallization, deodorization, degassing and drying under vacuum.
Liquid jet liquid pumps are used for conveying and mixing liquids such as water, acids or lye in water and waste water treatment plants.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
