Industrial processes can release hazardous heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium into the atmosphere. GEA provides proven heavy metal removal technologies that help customers comply with stringent environmental regulations, protect communities, and recover valuable resources wherever possible. GEA’s solutions are tailored to the specific characteristics of each process and emission stream, ensuring high removal efficiencies, operational reliability, and optimized lifecycle costs.
Comprehensive technologies for heavy metal abatement
GEA offers a broad portfolio of emission control solutions for removing heavy metals from flue gas and process exhaust streams. Depending on the application, plant configuration, and target pollutants, technologies may include:
- Calomel process systems for non-ferrous metal production
- GEA DeMerc for highly efficient advanced mercury removal and recovery
- Wet Electrostatic Precipitators (WESP) for sub-micron particulate and metal aerosol removal
- Spray Drying Absorption (SDA) systems with activated carbon injection for mercury capture
- Ceramic catalyst candle filters for simultaneous particulate, mercury, dioxin, VOC, and NOx control
