Accessories and options to build underground evacuation lines, to secure and preserve them from premature wear.
Very low voltage of electricity travels through the ground. The amount of electricity that can be carried by the ground depends on the type of soil. For example, damp hard clay soil has a high conductivity potential and dry coarse sand has virtually no conductivity potential.
Since electricity travels through the ground, if it finds a steel evacuation line, it will use it for whatever distance suits it. When electricity leaves the steel evacuation line, a chemical reaction occurs. This chemical reaction is the underground corrosion, which can be fast or slow depending on the type of soil in the area.
GEA recommends the use of a sacrificial anode on the equipment and at every 120 feet (36.5 m) on steel evacuation line.
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.
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.
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.
