GEA NEXUS
Towards a greener future
Getting serious about your decarbonization journey, while also ensuring a solid profit margin, sounds like a contradictory challenge. But as we all know – a challenge is also an opportunity. An opportunity to take a step back and look at the bigger picture - look at your entire production setup. The biggest win can be found in the smallest detail, so the trick is to find the different paths to upgrade plant performance whilst reducing energy and water consumption.
GEA NEXUS is a holistic approach that can support energy efficient, water-saving and reliable production processes* that can be implemented with limited or no downtime and can support a fast return on investment.
How to make your energy last longer
Energy efficiency plays a key role in achieving sustainability in process industries. So, not surprisingly, it’s high on your agenda and on ours. Heat production and subsequent chilling account for roughly 50% of the energy cost of food processing.
More than 90% of your factory’s heat demand can be met through upgraded waste heat. The use of heat pumps can potentially eliminate your boiler, and reuse waste heat from your refrigeration plant to satisfy different heating requirements within your process.
By implementing energy-efficient refrigeration and heat pump solutions utilizing natural refrigerants such as ammonia, GEA can help improve your energy efficiency for heating and cooling.*
