GEA Filtration at ACHEMA 2009

GEA Filtration will exhibit at the 29th International Exhibition and Congress on Chemical Engineering, Environmental Protection and Biotechnology - ACHEMA. The event will take place in Frankfurt, Germany from May 11 to May 15, 2009. GEA Filtration will exhibit on stand D13-G22 in Hall 4. Although hall 4 is dedicated to thermal processes it is a good fit for membrane filtration as it creates an easy comparison between the thermal separation processes (such as distilling, rectifying, extracting, absorbing, crystallizing, drying, heating, cooling, etc.) and cross flow membrane filtration. GEA Filtration will exhibit together with the following GEA companies and business groups: GEA Barr Rosin, Maidenhead, UK; GEA Diessel, Hildesheim, Germany; GEA Niro, Soeborg (Copenhagen), Denmark; GEA Ecoflex, Sarstedt, Germany; GEA EcoServe, Holzwickede, Germany; GEA Liquid Processing, Skanderborg, Denmark; GEA Luftkühler, Herne, Germany; GEA Messo, Duisburg, Germany; GEA Pharma Systems, Bubendorf, Switzerland; GEA Process Engineering, St. Quentin, France; GEA Westfalia Separator Process, Oelde, Germany; and GEA Wiegand, Ettlingen, Germany.
