Membrane Filtration Markets and Applications

Laboratory and pilot plant activities have been a vital part of the customer service offered by GEA Filtration through the history of the organization. GEA Filtration has facilities in selected locations worldwide for testing customer products and developing new processes that involve the core technologies of GEA Filtration, i.e. microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis. Over the years, a considerable amount of product knowledge has been accumulated. Pilot plant testing together with industrial plant experience has always been and will remain the basis for successful new projects that involve areas of GEA Filtration technology. To highlight the different applications we have divided our target market into these industrial segments:

• Dairy Applications
• Food & Beverage Applications
• Pharmaceutical Applications
• Industrial Applications

Membrane filtration processes are generally differentiated by their ability to separate molecules and particles of different sizes. The core element is the barrier structure, separating the liquid into two compartments. This structure, called a membrane, acts as an active or passive barrier for the product - separating and transporting from the feed side to the permeate side.

GEA Filtration plants and systems are renowned for their design, engineering, process quality and efficiency.
