GEA sponsors seventh International Whey Conference 2014
GEA Process Engineering will be sponsoring the seventh International Whey Conference in Rotterdam from 7-9 September, 2014 (IWC 2014). This is the second time GEA has sponsored the event that is one of the major opportunities for whey processors, application industries, scientists and academia to meet. Among the topics discussed at the conference will be the structure and functionality of whey and its derivatives, health and nutrition aspects, and processing and marketing challenges.
GEA will provide the technology providers’ view on whey processing, and be available for discussions on how the company’s technologies are applied in production of advanced whey and lactose products. The company will contribute to the poster presentation at the conference with a theme on ‘Whey protein concentrates processing: perspectives on optimization and process and product interaction’.
GEA is one of the major suppliers of processing plants for whey and whey-derivative products (WPCs, Whey Permeate, Lactose, etc.), and is currently working on several projects with many of the largest dairy processors. It is the company’s full scope of dairy process technologies and deep insights into processing whey products, combined with solid expertise in engineering and project management of large-scale installations that has given GEA its position in the industry.
“We are in a unique position to be able to provide a truly holistic approach to designing a whey processing plant,” said Steven Wright from GEA Process Engineering in the US and one of the company’s experts in whey processing. “We help our customers to perfect the combination of our processes and their products. We will work closely with them, through all phases of the project, allowing them to bring new products to market quickly and profitably.”
GEA is the company behind a number of renowned brands within dairy technology including GEA Filtration, GEA Niro evaporation, crystallization and drying technology, GEA Avapac and GEA Nu-Con powder handling and packing systems, and GEA Westfalia Separators.
