Columns form the core of any distillation plant.
Colonnes à plateaux et à garnissage
According to the product characteristics and the separating tasks individual applicable solutions must be found and designed.
1 = Distributor, 2 = Packing, 3 = Liquid collector, 4= Trays, 5= Downcomer, A = Feed, B = Bottom product, C = Overhead product, D= Steam reboiler inlet, E = Reflux
Computer modelling and the access to large product data bases allows a precise, effective, and reliable design of our plants.
Additionally, GEA has its own Research and Developpment Centre at its disposal. This enables the evaluation of the most suitable solutions for complex or new tasks with various possibilities of testing of different internals and processes parameters.
Certain pilot plants are available as mobile units and can therefore be installed at a customer´s site. Data is captured and plant operating behavior modelled by means of the latest programs. This possibility can be precious for the clients before making big investments: he achieves a higher grade of safety regarding indispensable product qualities as, for example , the organoleptic properties of his drinking alcohol.
GEA is free to apply column internals of different suppliers thus having the advantage to choose the best design for the process tasks.

Rebouilleur pour installations de distillation
GEA utilise différents types de rebouilleurs pour assurer l’apport d’énergie dans les colonnes de distillation. Le choix du type approprié dépend des paramètres du produit et du procédé environnant.
Unités de distillation chauffées par RMV/RTV
La recompression de vapeur thermique emploie des jets de vapeur pour augmenter le niveau de température des flux de vapeur dans l’installation. La condensation de ces flux boostés est ensuite utilisée pour le chauffage ou l’évaporation de flux de procédé de température plus basse. La consommation de vapeur est ainsi minimisée.
Unités de distillation montées sur skid
La fabrication d'unités compactes montées sur skid pour des quantités de produits plus réduites présente de nombreux avantages pour notre client.
Multiple Effect Distillation Plants
The core of the distillation range of products is the multiple-effect pressure/vacuum rectification system. The design is largely determined by the characteristic properties of the feed and the specific requirements of the final product.
