The downstream oil and gas industry faces new challenges to cope with deteriorating operating margins. Refineries have to increasingly process changing crude oils and “opportunity” crude oils. This requires not only the deployment of new technologies, but also the management of problems related to the aging infrastructure.
Whether there are plans to put new refineries into operation, modernize or upgrade an existing site or whether revamps are planned: GEA’s high-performance decanter centrifuges and disk-stack centrifuges were specially designed to meet the requirements and circumstances in various process setups in refineries. They handle continuous liquid-liquid-solids separation in a wide range of applications and capacities.

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...
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...
Gas compressors
GEA gas compressors are key system components in oil & gas extraction and processing operations, in power generation plants with gas turbines, in chemical processing and in numerous other industries.
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.

From fossil fuels to future-ready: The rise of heat pumps
While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
A new recipe for indulgence
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.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
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.
