GEA Bischoff has added an innovative version of electrostatic precipitator
(ESP) technology to its portfolio. The technology came as part of the
acquisition, in December 2009, of Finland's Ion Blast Oy, a company that
specializes in the ESP field. With this innovative technology, and a worldwide
patent protection, GEA Bischoff has widened its product range in the area of
de-dusting plants. The technology allows for a construction of lighter ESPs and
high-efficiency particle removal by using the ionic wind. With more than 100
reference plants, this technology is already being applied successfully in
various industries in the Nordic market.
The Ion Blast technology has
been marketed worldwide by GEA Bischoff, a company in GEA Process
Engineering, since 1 January 2010, in close co-operation with the newly
established GEA Bischoff Oy in Helsinki, where Timo Seppälä is Managing
Director.
