General Membrane Filtration
GEA Filtration is part of GEA, an international process engineering leader in the life sciences industry with more than 150 companies operating worldwide. As a team member with technology leaders like Niro, Westfalia Separator, GEA Wiegand, GEA Liquid Processing, GEA Diessel, and Tuchenhagen, GEA Filtration specializes in liquid and powder processing systems. GEA filtration is uniquely positioned to provide both customized membrane filtration plants as well as complete process lines specifically tailored to each customer's specific needs and requirements.
This brochure is also available in other languages: Condensate Polishing
In most cases, condensate from evaporation plants is used as boiler feed water, process, cooling, and rinsing water or is directly discharged into a drainage ditch. For this purpose, the quality of the condensate must be improved once again and it must be purified. Purification by reverse osmosis is relatively simple and inexpensive, and high condensate qualities can be reached. The unique combination of know-how in membrane filtration and evaporation enables us to offer the latest technology in condensate polishing. Thanks to this experience we are in a position to supply systems with long trouble-free operation and low operating costs and, at the same time, high permeate qualities.
Custom Fabrication Services
The custom fabrication facility was established in 1976 and acquired by the Niro group in 1979. It has since been constantly upgraded both in regard to the fabrication tools and equipment as well as the labor skills- resulting in one of the most efficient, experienced and best-equipped stainless steel workshops for sanitary process equipment in the United States. The workshop employs approximately 100 highly skilled people on the floor in the 50,000 square foot facility.
Microfiltration of dairy products brochure
Cross flow microfiltration technology is rapidly gaining prominence in the processing of dairy ingredients. Microfiltration along with other membrane filtration processes like ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and nanofiltration is making it possible to produce products with very unique properties and functionalities.
Membrane Filtration - Sugar, Starch and Sweetener Industries
Membrane filtration applications in the sugar, starch and sweetener industries pose challenge to membrane construction due to the necessity of operating in difficult environments. Recent advances in membrane construction, both in organic and inorganic membranes have significantly contributed to advances in these applications. GEA Filtration offers systems with a broad range of membrane configurations to enable customers to fully optimize every specific separation application.
cGMP Membrane Filtration Systems for the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries
GEA Filtration specializes in cross-flow membrane filtration technologies, namely microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis. Along with our process experience, we offer a wide range of both polymeric and inorganic membrane systems to provide the best possible solutions to our customers in the biotechnology industry. Membrane filtration provides advantages in its ability to achieve specific fractionations of high value products in biotechnology processes such as cell harvesting, fermentation broth clarification, solvent extraction and many others. The results being, in many cases, extremely high purity of these products at much higher yields over traditional separation methods like centrifugation or filter presses.
Process Technologies for the Coffee Industry
The Value Added Whey Whey is the lemon of cheese production. Cabot Creamery leveraged modern technology to turn it into lemonade. The resourcefulness to turn byproducts into value-added products ranks among the food industry's most impressive achievements. Companies that pioneer those processes also rewrite their economic models and enjoy huge competitive advantages. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) is a good example. The bulk of raw milk used in cheese making ends up as whey, and the cost of disposing of whey has driven some cheese makers out of business. European dairy processors have been converting whey into WPC for years, and their American counterparts rapidly are following suit as food formulators find new uses for this ingredient.
Turn Whey into Profitable Business
Whey can be processed into ingredients with functionalities for various applications. The most valuable constituent of whey is the easily digestible whey protein. Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) can be manufactured with different protein content. Due to its many nutritional and functional properties WPC has a variety of applications in industry.

5th International Whey Conference in Paris The whey story - from waste to major functional food specially. Whey, a neversubsidized product has changed in application dramatically over the past decades: originally considered part of the effluent stream and dumped in rivers, later on used as sprayed fertilizer on crop and as feed for pigs it nowadays turns out to be a revolutionary preventative means against major diseases such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.
Dairy - Process Technology for Dairy and Dairy-Like Products
Thousands of Niro dairy plants operate daily all over the world. Our engineering ranges from single pieces of equipment to complete plants, handling milk all the way from reception through liquid processing, evaporation, and drying to final bagging off.
Service Is Key in Filtration Separation
Regular service keeps membranes in top operating condition.Service options are best described by looking at a particular example. GEA Filtration, a leader in cross-flow membrane filtration, has established a membrane service program with three levels of service designed to meet the needs of any user. The three levels of service are the Membrane Replacement Plan, the Membrane Service Agreement, and the Membrane Maintenance Program.
Specifying Microfiltration Systems
Reprinted from Chemical Engineering, August 2005. ©2005 Access Intelligence LLC. The article is about how to apply microfiltration in the biotechnology industry. In biotech operations, the technology has emerged as an effective method for separating enzymes from fermented mixtures, because it holds back the whole cells and allows the enzyme to pass through and be re-covered in the permeate stream. When compared to traditional separation techniques such as centrifugation and rotary vacuum filtration, microfiltration is much more economically viable. In fact, cross-flow membrane filtration can replace a two step process with one, resulting in lower investment and operating costs, higher enzyme yields and simplification of downstream processing methods. |
