Diesel engine power plant
Efficient operation requires pure fuel and oil – GEA makes sure your diesel systems get exactly that.
Enhancing quality in power plants
Efficient operation of diesel engine power plants relies on more than just robust engines — it depends on the purity and quality of every fluid involved. GEA’s advanced separator centrifuges are engineered to remove contaminants from fuel, lubricating oil and cooling water, safeguarding engine components and extending service intervals. By ensuring optimal fluid cleanliness, GEA’s solutions help power plant operators achieve higher efficiency, lower emissions and reduced maintenance costs, supporting reliable energy generation in even the most demanding environments.
Our self-cleaning centrifuges, featuring the innovative GEA UnitrolPlus systems, automatically monitor the water level in the oil and the separation of solid residues around the clock. This technology guarantees maximum separation efficiency for various fuel and lube oils, ensuring your engines operate smoothly and efficiently.
A key advantage of our equipment is the extended service intervals, with standard maintenance required only after 8,000 to 16,000 operating hours. This significantly reduces the need for frequent maintenance and lowers personnel costs.
Additionally, all our separation systems are available as modular solutions, offered as "ready-to-connect" systems. This modular approach drastically reduces on-site installation time, allowing for quicker setup and minimal disruption to your operations.

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...
Fuel Conditioning Systems
Efficient operation of ship and power station diesel engines requires optimum fuel supply. This key condition is accomplished by the ViscoBoosterUnits for fuel treatment.
Machine automation & control
Every plant or machine, which is designed for a reliable long-term operation, requires a control unit that enables the communication between the different system parts. It is one of the most important component that guarantees reliability and efficient operation.
