Industrial effluents
Dairy businesses can significantly cut operational costs by reducing wastewater volumes and optimizing treatment processes. On average, 1-3 liters of water are used per kilogram of milk, leading to high disposal expenses. Implementing GEA’s centrifugal separation technology minimizes freshwater consumption and sludge production, lowering costs while enhancing sustainability.
Hygiene is a top priority in milk processing, requiring large amounts of water for cleaning. This results in two main wastewater streams:
GEA sludge Decanters efficiently handle both types, ensuring cost-effective wastewater management without compromising hygiene standards.
A 2010 study by the Association of German Dairying found that operating an in-house wastewater treatment plant can reduce costs by up to 66% compared to using municipal treatment facilities. By recycling valuable byproducts and minimizing waste, dairy businesses can boost efficiency and profitability.
Anaerobic/aerobic biological cleaning combined with GEA sludge Decanters enables efficient sludge dewatering, cutting disposal costs while reducing environmental impact.

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.
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.
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.
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.
