Condensate polisher for industrial water reuse
In dairy and food production, condensate from evaporation processes must be purified before it can be reused or discharged. Impurities like chemical oxygen demands (COD) and ions need to be removed efficiently.
Purify condensate for process water reuse
The GEA Condensate Polisher is designed to purify condensate from evaporation processes, converting it into high-quality process water through reverse osmosis. The system effectively removes chemical oxygen demands (COD), ions, and other unwanted components, achieving low conductivity levels in the filtered water. This allows the purified water to be reused as process, cooling, and rinsing water, or discharged directly. The system can significantly reduce the hydraulic load on wastewater systems, particularly when handling increased volumes of condensate. The operating pressure and process design can be adjusted based on the specific condensate quality and required purification level.
