Oils/Gas/Chemicals and Mining 

Process technology in this sector has been developing continuously and dynamically. The (petro) chemical and pharmaceutical industry has seen a substantial growth in capacity. Subsequently the demand for control by means of mechanical refrigeration systems has risen proportionally. Day-to-day operation is ruled by quality procedures, safety regulations and continuous processes that are based on minimum down time. GEA Refrigeration Africa offers specialised engineering and meticulous planning, which are of vital importance in this industry.

Oil & Gas (compression) 

 

Pharmaceutical

Sophisticated refrigeration systems are used to control the production of chemical heat reactions and pressure differences that may occur. This also applies to the preservation of product properties or the prevention of unintended side reactions.   Temperature control plays a vital role in the production process of oil and gas, and particularly gas compression.  Examples include storage and transport of liquefied gas such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbonic acid, chlorine and methane.   Production and storage in the pharmaceutical industry takes place by means of temperature control. Processes take place in "clean rooms" that cannot function without temperature and air control.
