Environment
Protecting the planet
Industries and communities face growing challenges in reducing environmental impact while managing resources sustainably. Current methods rely on costly, single-use materials, while water demand continues to rise. We provide innovative solutions for efficient water and waste management, using advanced technologies to turn by-products into valuable resources.
Partnering for a sustainable future: Committed to eco-friendly solution
Industries and municipalities are under pressure to meet rising product demands, comply with stricter regulations, and reduce their environmental footprint. We provide cost-effective, sustainable technologies that address critical challenges, including greenhouse gas emissions, inefficient waste management, and water scarcity.
By integrating eco-design principles, we enable our customers to enhance efficiency, reduce resource consumption, and promote a circular economy. Our long-term solutions not only help ensure regulatory compliance but also drive innovation, supporting increased output and sustainable growth from the very start.
Carbon capture solutions
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions
At GEA, we are committed to creating cutting edge carbon capture technologies that enable our customers' industries, such as cement, steel, glass, bioenergy, and chemicals to accelerate their transition to a low-carbon economy and mitigate climate change.
GEA's carbon capture portfolio comes to extend our already well-established gas cleaning and heat recovery offer through technologies for CO2 capturing as well as options for CO2 liquefaction and utilization
GEA environmental Decanter lines
Safeguarding our resources
The thirst for water is growing - in communities, industry and agriculture. Megatrends such as population growth and urbanization are driving this demand. But fresh water is a scarce commodity on our planet, with only about 1% directly available.
In response to the growing need for sustainable water use, there's an increasing demand for improved water management. This applies to wastewater and sludge treatment in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants as well as in agriculture.
To meet these pressing challenges, we have developed the GEA biosolids, sludge and manure Decanter to convert biosolids, industrial sludge, manure and digestate into a valuable resource, producing both energy and recyclable material with optimum efficiency.
Emission control solutions
Reducing air pollution
Along with energy-efficient and resource-conserving production methods, the treatment of emissions is one of the main challenges in industrial pollution control. GEA is a world leader in the development, design and installation of industrial off-gas systems and technologies Our customers come from industries with large emission volumes and there is enormous potential for reducing GHG and other air pollution emissions.
Emission control: reducing industrial emissions
GEA’s advanced emission control technologies help industries reduce harmful pollutants like dust, NOx, and other airborne contaminants. Our solutions ensure compliance with strict environmental regulations and contribute to better air quality.
Gas cleaning: efficient gas treatment solutions
Our gas cleaning technologies effectively remove harmful gases and particulates from industrial emissions, improving air quality and ensuring compliance with emission standards.
Energy efficiency: waste heat recovery
GEA’s waste heat recovery solutions allow industries to reuse waste heat, significantly reducing energy consumption and lowering operational costs. These technologies enhance the efficiency and sustainability of industrial processes.

Centrifugal Separator
GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...
CO2 saving processes
CO2 savings come from reducing fossil fuel demand either by increasing energy efficiency or by separating CO2 from flue gas streams along with long-term fixation in valuable products or storage. GEA offers products and processes for all relevant stages.
Cooling, quenching & conditioning
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
