High corrosion-resistant vacuum systems for chemical industries

Extracts and Condenses Corrosive Gases and Vapors

The high corrosion-resistant vacuum systems by GEA integrate advanced graphite technology to efficiently extract and condense corrosive gases and vapors. These systems employ multi-stage steam jet pumps and are ideal for tough chemical and pharmaceutical operations where standard materials fail. With graphite’s superior thermal conductivity and resistance to chemical attack, these vacuum pumps withstand harsh environments, particularly those with halogenated gases.

These vacuum systems are extensively applied in fields ranging from chemical manufacturing to food production, producing outputs like halogenated gases, purified gas streams, and specialty chemicals. Capable of operating under pressures down to 0.1 mbar, they use steam jet compressors and ejectors to maintain optimal vacuum conditions. They are also uniquely adaptable, seamlessly replacing outdated ceramic systems without modifications, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.

Further enhancing integration, the vacuum systems are available with block, shell-and-tube, and plate heat exchangers, all fabricated from resistant graphite materials. No moving parts ensure minimal maintenance while allowing installation across diverse environments. These systems cater to continuous operations with options for manual interventions and can be tailored to specific process requirements, supported by GEA’s robust engineering assistance.
