Vacuum Technology
Thermocompressors are based on proven jet pump technology and often used to reduce venting of low-pressure steam.
Steam jet compressors are used in evaporating, distillation, cooling, crystallization, deodorization, degassing and drying under vacuum.
In the positive pressure range the compressed exhaust vapors are used for heating (heat pump).
Steam jet compressors use the energy of a vapor flow of a high pressure level and compress a vapor flow of low pressure level to a medium pressure level.
Normally, such steam jet compressors are operated by water steam as motive and suction fluid. Basically, however, steam jet compressors can be operated with any vapor.
A steam jet compressor must be constructed to unite the operating conditions accurately, otherwise the efficiency will be poor or it will not work at all. Even so, for a better understanding of the method of operation of steam jet compression, it is important to consider behavior under varying operating conditions.
In relation to these advantages, the efficiency does not play significant role, compared to other compressors. As a result of it being custom built for a duty, with correct design and application a high operating efficiency can be achieved.
Multi-stage steam jet vacuum pumps in graphite for corrosive applications.
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.
When plant-forward South Korean food producer Pulmuone brought GEA the challenge of developing a modern spin on the traditional chewy cold (naengmyeon) noodle, GEA’s R&D experts were up to the challenge. They helped develop what is now a commercial hit produced with less water and electricity than previously existing methods. The result is also true to the traditional origins of the dish as well as Pulmuone’s health, well-being and sustainability roots.
GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
