Inspired. Your objectives are ambitious. We are passionate about achieving them. 16878-brs_210x280-En-rz.indd 2 15.03.2012 11:47:19 Uhr

Successful achievements. And the path to achieving this success. To develop solutions that create the maximum benets for the customer: this is the aim of GEA Wiegand. It is our objective to set global quality standards with customized evaporation and distillation plants, membrane ltration plants, vacuum systems and gas scrubbing systems for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, food industry and environmental technology. Since 1908 our success has come from our focus on innovative capacity, on technological excellence, and above all, our focus on our customers. They are the inspiration...

GEA WIEGAND Part of a strong group. More than ever, today complex responses are needed to answer the complex requirements of the market. As a subsidiary of GEA Group in the GEA Process Engineering segment we represent a network of competence which offers valuable synergies. GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft is one of the most important system providers for the production of food and for the generation of energy. As an internationally active technology group it focuses on process technology and components for sophisticated production processes in different end markets. Well prepared for the...

GEA Wiegand headquarters Made by GEA Milestones Processing plants for food or beverages, technology for pharmaceutical or cosmetics applications, energy, environment or ship technology: „Made by GEA“ means high eciency, environmental compatibility of production processes, and inter-technology competence. The exchange of know-how is necessary to achieve the best possible system solution, using all segments. Dedicated support of synergies is one of the GEA Group principles. From the rst Wiegand evaporator to a global player 1920 Foundation of Apparatebau GmbH Wilhelm Wiegand in Merseburg 1930...

KEY TECHNOLOGIES Innovation with exibility. Innovation award for traditional technologies? This is no contradiction for GEA Wiegand. For the building of evaporation or distillation plants, jet pumps or vacuum systems, the secret lies in intelligent design according to the specic requirements of the respective industry. This is achieved through amazing process optimization by a dedicated integration of co-ordinated process technologies: efcient, sustainable and using resources effectively. Excellent achievements in every eld Thinking outside the box, linking knowledge, trying out new...

Improving economic efciency of production by optimizing processes Evaporation technology Liquids are concentrated by separating the solvent - which in most of the cases is water - in a vapour state by supplying thermal energy into tube or plate heat exchangers. GEA Wiegand is able to supply and has a fundamental understanding of all types of evaporation plants. Distillation Distillation is the separation of a substance mixture by evaporation and subsequent condensation. Rectication exploits the dierent boiling behaviour of liquids in a mixture to achieve a multiple distillation in which the...

6-effect falling lm / forced circulation evaporation plant Location: Argentina Evaporation rate: 31,000 kg/h The GEA Wiegand evaporation plant concentrates protein-containing waste water from the production of fermentation products. The multi-eect arrangement and the additional heat recovery by means of thermal vapour recompressors provide excellent energy eciency. 16878-brs_210x280-En-rz.indd 9 15.03.2012 11:47:45 Uhr

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS Custom-made, one-stop solutions. For GEA Wiegand each system solution at the same time is an individual single solution because within a sector, the specications for the required process are very different - e. g. distillation for solar heating systems requires different plant than for energy-saving bioethanol production. No matter whether we are asked to optimize a process or to design a multi-effect plant - we support our customers through every step. We are able to keep the big picture in focus because here everything comes from one source: project management via...

Bundled know-how for you: from plant development to software monitoring Example of starch industry. This industry requires high evaporation rates so energy saving has top priority - and it pays o. GEA Wiegand has been setting the standard for process engineering for many years. Our concept: to use drier vapour scrubbed in our own jet scrubbing system for the heating of evaporation plants, combined with mechanical vapour recompression. With a proper process routing it is possible to achieve a nearly zero-energy operation of the evaporation plants. Example of yeast and alcohol production....

INDUSTRY EXPERTISE From food to environmental technology. As competence leader in thermal process engineering, vacuum technology and membrane technology we are at home in all industries. The product experience we gained with more than 10,000 delivered plants all over the world continually opens up new elds of application from food and chemistry to renewable energies. The tasks are always different; the objectives are not: consistently high product quality, reliable operation and low energy costs - our speciality. Across industry borders: Top marks for efciency, operating cost saving and...

Welcome in all industries: efcient processes that preserve resources and save costs Our customers also rely on our many years of experience for the production of starch products and starch derivates. Because of the high evaporation rate, energy eciency is the crucial objective in starch production. Plants by GEA Wiegand are operated with the world’s lowest specic energy consumption values. Chemical industry: worldwide links. Concentration, solvent recovery, product separation, heating and cooling, degassing and vacuum generation: the requirements in the chemical industry are as diverse as...
