Liquid manure from the agricultural sector represents a valuable natural fertilizer. However, liquid manure and the excess nutrients that it may contain must be treated prior to application to fields, to protect the environment and water courses in compliance with stringent legal requirements. GEA can supply both evaporator and decanter technology to tackle any liquid manure treatment application.
GEA manure Decanters efficiently reduce phosphate and nitrogen levels in liquid manure by separating up to 90% of phosphate and 35% of nitrogen compounds along with solids, protecting both groundwater and surface water. The separated, pourable solids are ideal for composting and can be repurposed as fertilizer. The remaining liquid phase is easy to store in a silo and can be applied as a high-quality, eco-friendly natural fertilizer when needed. For maximum flexibility, mobile decanters are also available.
GEA’s evaporator technology is ideally suited to concentrating liquid manure to reduce volume, especially on breeding farms that have very large numbers of animals. Using our evaporators, the liquid manure is concentrated to up to 30% dry solids, and this can then be dried fully in a dryer.
GEA’s evaporator and dryer technologies can both be operated entirely using waste thermal energy.
GEA further supplies equipment like jet and vacuum pumps for conveying water and manure.

The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...
Jet pumps, also referred to as ejectors, are devices for the conveyance, compression or mixing of gases, vapors, liquids or solids and for the production of vacuum in which a gaseous or liquid medium serves as the motive force.

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.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
