This year at the Worldwide Food Expo our booth will feature the following GEA Companies and Business Groups:

GEA Filtration

GEA Filtration is a world-leading supplier of cross-flow membrane filtration systems to the food, dairy, beverage, biofood, and nutraceutical (nutritional) industries. The company has expertise in pilot trials and application development, systems scale-up, project engineering, process integration, fabrication, installation and start-up, service, and membrane replacement.

GEA Filtration will exhibit the popular and flexible pilot plant Model R which can carry out pilot studies on the full range of membrane filtration technologies (microfiltration MF, ultrafiltration UF, nanofiltration NF, and reverse osmosis RO) under different operating conditions.

The technology of cross-flow membrane filtration is quickly gaining global acceptance as an important manufacturing step in many of the process lines in the food, dairy, pharmaceutical/biotechnology and starch and sweetener industries worldwide. The ability to produce very specific separations at low or ambient temperatures with no phase change can, in many applications, make membrane filtration a much more cost-effective solution than more conventional methods such as rotary vacuum filtration or filter presses. Membrane filtration is a pressure driven technology with pore sizes ranging from 100 molecular weight to 5 microns.

GEA Liquid Processing (the process integration, engineering and automation activities of Tuchenhagen North America)

GEA Liquid Processing is a new business group dedicated to supplying process integration services and liquid processing solutions. The formation of GEA Liquid Processing is part of GEA's global plan to strengthen the group's liquid processing capabilities. The foundation for this objective is to have dedicated liquid processing companies to integrate the unit operations from the different GEA companies and to provide project management for large turnkey projects.
