Chemical Applications
GEA EcoFlex plate heat exchangers do a great job throughout the chemical industry – guaranteeing good chemistry at all times. From paper and pulp chemistry, to the textile industry or the petrochemical world: Our plate heat exchangers bring any product to the right temperature anywhere, quickly and reliably.

Petrochemical
In the production of plastics, varnishes and detergents etc., the petrochemical industry trusts our powerful and lasting system solutions. GEA EcoFlex plate heat exchangers are tight, no matter how aggressive the products (including sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda or bleaching lye) may be.

Paper and Pulp Industry
To maintain the supply of paper for printers, fax machines, newspapers and other media, we support the paper and pulp industry in all processes – from the heating steam circuit down to roll cooling and from bleaching through to waste water disposal.

Textile Industry
In the textile industry, GEA EcoFlex plate heat exchangers ensure that the processing of fibers and materials can be continued quickly and efficiently – for the collections of the future.

Latex Pre-Heating
The concentration process of partly polymerized latex dispersion involves the risk that polymerized latex will stick to the heat exchanger wall, thus reducing the heat transfer. GEA EcoFlex plate heat exchangers, with their many possible circuits, offer a special solution for this fouling problem.

Mining
In mining, our units are successfully used in the copper extraction process for sulphuric acid cooling. Applications include not only cooling/heating of highly concentrated acids, but also gas purification of weak acids.

Surface Technology
In pre-treatment and cleaning units, immersion, flow coating and spray coating units, plate heat exchangers are used to obtain efficient and inexpensive bath temperature control, for example:
  Degreasing baths
  Phosphatizing baths
  Electroplating baths
  Electrolyte baths
