Catalytic gas cleaning
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) diminishes post-combustion NOx by reacting with urea or ammonia to produce nitrogen and water.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a way of converting Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) with the aid of a catalyst into nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) at a lower temperature level.
The reductant, typically aqueous ammonia or urea solution is added, injected to the exhaust gas stream for the selective catalytic reduction.
Catalytic oxidation activity (CO/VOC) is achieved by additional impregnation with noble metals.
GEA was the first company to use and continuously improve selective catalytic reduction (SCR) in the glass industry, in the cement industry and now also in metallurgical industry.
With the operating data, the performance measurements carried out and the activity studies of the catalysts used, GEA is constantly adding to its experience for process optimization and for the benefit of users in all industrial sectors.
GEA offers two selective Catalytic Reduction Solutions to control NOx:
- SCR reactor for removal of NOx & CO/VOC
- Catalytic ceramic candle filter (BisCat)

Catalytic ceramic candle filter (BisCat)
BisCat ceramic filters with an embedded catalyst matrix consists of vanadium pentoxide, allow for the removal of particulates, sorption processes for acidic gases, reduction of NOX and the decomposing of dioxins, VOC`s. The filter elements are chemically inert and corrosion resistant. Gas cleaning in one step. A multifunctional filter for the sim...
SCR for removal of NOx & CO/VOC
The SCR process has been used on gas turbines and fossil fuel-fired kilns/boilers. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the process of using ammonia or urea in the presence of a catalyst to selectively reduce NOx emissions from exhaust gases. The catalyst composed of extruded ceramic honeycomb or corrugated mat consist of vanadium pentoxide, ti...

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.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
