3-Phase Separating Decanters for Oil & Gas
For the Oil & Gas industry GEA offers 3-phase separating decanters for the treatment of waste and slop oils.
Our available decanters for this application have a low bowl angle for optimal thickening and a hydraulic scroll drive for maximum power. We have also the patented bowl design for handling of brine with a specific gravity of up to 1.5 sg.
GEA tackles this challenge with a successful combination consisting of mechanical separation technology, minimum use of chemical agents and the right process. Our 3-phase decanters of the new ecoforce series combine high performance with low energy consumption. Together with the decanter featuring the super pond depth design, the integrated summationdrive ensures that energy consumption has been reduced by a further 30 percent. With the summationdrive, a primary drive drives the bowl and a secondary drive drives the scroll, and the performance of both motors is combined. An intelligent kinematic solution combines the capacities of the two motors (“summation” arrangement), and then forwards them precisely to the bowl and scroll. Unnecessary conversion losses, such as those encountered with other solutions featuring back drive, are not encountered with the summationdrive. A further major aspect of the new generation is the fully automatic facility for adjusting the differential speed in a broad range as well as the low space requirement. With its high speed and high g-force as well as the super deep pond design, our decanters ensure optimum performance with a minimum space requirement.
Features & Benefits
- Super Deep pond design for enhanced performance by optimized process configuration
- Tungsten carbide tiles or hard faced scroll for longer operational life
- Stainless steel wetted parts and hood

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
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.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
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.
New food tipping point
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.
