Effluent water from gas turbines
Protect Water. Preserve the Future. GEA’s centrifugal systems ensure your power plant meets strict discharge limits - efficiently, reliably and with the environment in mind.
Why effluent water treatment matters
Water is the source of all life and protecting it is a shared responsibility. In gas turbine power plants, wastewater generated during operation must be treated before discharge to meet strict national and international environmental regulations. One key requirement: the oil content in effluent water must not exceed 15 ppm. In some regions, even lower thresholds apply.
Although 15 parts per million may sound minimal, this level of contamination can still harm ecosystems. In practice, many conventional treatment systems struggle to consistently meet this limit under real-world conditions. That’s why GEA believes: 15 ppm is still too much.
GEA’s solution
GEA’s self-cleaning centrifugal systems offer a reliable and economical solution for effluent water treatment in power plants. Our technology is designed to efficiently separate oil from water even under demanding operating conditions ensuring compliance with environmental standards and reducing the ecological footprint of your plant.
Your benefits
- Consistent oil removal performance - even below 15 ppm
- Fully compliant with environmental discharge regulations
- Compact, self-cleaning systems for low maintenance
- Proven reliability in power plant applications worldwide
Protect what matters
GEA’s effluent water treatment systems help you operate responsibly protecting the environment and preserving natural resources for future generations.

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...
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.
