Process Engineering:

Are you planning a complete dairy, a cheese-making plant, a butter-making plant, a yoghurt line or a new milk processing room? Whether your project is a new ’greenfield’ plant or an extension, conversion or modernisation of an existing process plant, GEA TDS engineers, with their complex know-how, are there to back you up with excellent service. From isometric drawings to pipe class specifications, from detailed engineering to project management, GEA TDS takes charge of the projects on site, on the client's premises or in the GEA TDS technology centre. 
GEA TDS is part of the international systems engineering sector of the GEA Group. This provides access to a variety of components and units made by members of the group which can be integrated to create high-quality processing systems. The use of modern CAE tools for detail engineering is common throughout the company.

For project planning and engineering the main focus points are:

  • Preliminary design
  • Support in approval planning
  • Preliminary planning and layouts
  • Selection/dimensioning of process equipment
  • Production of tender documents for process plants

Detailed Engineering:

  • Layout planning and detailed
  • Coordination / clarification of details
  • Inventory taking on site
  • Design of pipe layout and instrumentation
  • Arrangement of components
  • Calculation of material requirements and technical specifications
  • Definition of interfaces
  • Configuration and dimensioning of instrumentation and control equipment
  • Technical desciption of the processes
  • Quality assurance ans quality control
  • Monitoring of time schedules
  • Cost control
  • Supervision of construction and installation work
  • Commissioning of plant components
  • Supervision of commissioning
  • Technical support for production
  • Process optimisation
  • Documentation
