GEA technology is the standard in gas cleaning plants of the global players. Together with the world market leaders, we continue to develop our technology to always stay competitive.

Our portfolio includes a series of cooling and quench solutions, which can also be combined depending on the application.

GEA offers various cooling and conditioning units:

  • Gas conditioning tower (Evaporative gas cooler)
