Emission control
Non-ferrous
The global non-ferrous market is a fast growing and well performing market with high potential for the future. Non-ferrous metals include a number of different qualities and values. To follow trends and requirements emission control is one of the key-words for the future.
Gas cleaning units for process and non-ferrous industry
Environmental protection is not only a form of self-preservation of humanity but also a positive trend in the industry.
GEA is a reliable partner for gas cleaning solutions in nearly all areas of non-ferrous production. To ensure the air pollution control, gas cleaning systems are essential components in the process chain. Focusing on cleaning SO2-based gases in the process of sulphuric acid, covers roasters, smelting furnaces and converters for various non-ferrous products including:
- Copper
- Zinc
- Lead
- Molybdenum
Environmental solutions in you process chain might look for example as follows:
Zinc, pyrite and gold roasting smelting furnaces and converters for copper production
- Dust removal from hot gases using cyclones and dry electrostatic precipitators
- Washing and cooling plants (quenching towers, Venturi or radial flow scrubbers, packed cooling towers) including fluorine removal
- Separation of dust, heavy metals and sulphuric acid mist with wet electrostatic precipitators
- Separation of mercury in the calomel process
Rotary kilns
- Fine dust removal and separation of sulphuric acid mist using wet electrostatic precipitators
- Separation of sulphur dioxide using wet and dry procedures on the basis of limestone and caustic soda

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
New food tipping point
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
