GEA at OTC 2026:
Solving Separation Challenges in Oil & Gas
May 4-7, 2026
NRG Park - Houston, Texas
Booth 3312
Our team of specialists in crude oil, slop oil, and water treatment is heading to the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2026! We’ll be onsite to discuss the fundamentals of centrifugal separation and want to help you tackle your toughest liquid–liquid–solid separation challenges.
At GEA, our centrifugal technologies are engineered to meet the demands of today’s oil & gas operations, from resolving process bottlenecks to turning off-spec crude into full-value product.
What GEA centrifuges deliver – key benefits:
- Efficient separation of oil, water, and solids (particles > 0.5 microns)
- Maximized oil recovery from variable slop streams
- Transformation of waste into valuable recovered products
Common challenges in the oilfield and how we can help:
- High water cuts - Efficient crude dehydration with the GEA Crude Oil Treatment System
- Dropping API gravity - Parallel side stream separation can restore or even boost performance
- Heavy crude (API down to 12°) - Reliable 1- or 2-stage treatment solutions
- Off-spec crude - Tank-to-tank treatment brings oil back to full value
GEA centrifugal technologies for the oil & gas sector:
Disk-stack centrifuges (Liquid oriented)
- Capacities up to 75,000 bbl/day
- Ideal for dewatering/desalting heavy crude & de-oiling produced water
- Available in gas tight, ATEX compliant designs with duplex/super duplex materials
Decanter centrifuges (Solids oriented)
- Capacities up to 52,000 bbl/day
- Robust, safe, high-performance separation
- Self-contained, skid mounted systems
- Suitable for ATEX Zone 1 or Class I, division 1/2 installations
