GEA Bischoff has added an innovative version of the electrostatic
precipitator technology (ESP) to its product range. The technology was part of
the acquisition in December 2009 of Finland's Ion Blast Oy, a company
specialised in this 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 a lighter construction of 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.
As of 1 January 2010 the Ion Blast technology will be marketed worldwide by
GEA Bischoff in close co-operation with the newly established GEA Bischoff Oy
in Helsinki, with Timo Seppälä as Managing Director.
