Industrial effluents
Coffee processing
Traditional soluble coffee or specialties such as cappuccino – the industrial production of instant coffee produces considerable quantities of effluent with a significantly high solid content. GEA decanters have demonstrated their worth as a forward-looking solution for effluent treatment in the coffee industry, make a specific contribution to environmental protection and a reduction in disposal costs, and also enable valuable substances to be recovered.
High solid content in the effluent
Companies in the coffee industry are increasingly facing major challenges as a result of production-related effluent flows and effluent flows generated by treatment processes. The high level of solid content in the effluent requires the use of robust technologies which are able to reliably and efficiently treat the sludge and thus make a major contribution towards assuring continuous production. GEA decanters demonstrate their efficiency and effectiveness in the treatment of such effluents.
Excellent results even in conjunction with high volume flows
As a result of their closed design and excellent dewatering capacity, GEA decanters assure a high level of dry matter in the separated solids, and are easily able to cope with high volume flows. The dry solids phase does not have to be disposed of expensively, and instead can be profitably used in combustion as an energy medium. If customers decide to use the first-class decanter technology of GEA, they will benefit from significant cost savings as a result of low maintenance costs and an energy-efficient method of operation.
- Powerful decanters for treating effluents with a high solid content
- Very dry solid phase – expensive disposal not necessary
- Low maintenance costs
- Reduced energy requirement

Decanter Centrifuge
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
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.

Around the world in seven questions: New foods we’ll love
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
