Precise fuel conditioning for reliable marine engine performance.

GEA Visco Booster Unit

Fuel quality can vary significantly, especially when operating with heavy fuel oil. Differences in viscosity, temperature and pressure can negatively affect engine performance, efficiency and reliability.

The GEA Visco Booster Unit (VBU) automatically conditions fuel before it reaches the engine. Installed between the fuel supply and the engine, it continuously adjusts fuel viscosity, temperature and pressure to meet the exact requirements of the engine manufacturer. The result is stable engine operation, improved fuel compatibility and reliable performance across varying fuel qualities.

Transforming sidestreams into jet fuel

The aviation industry wants to use more sustainable aviation fuel, but supply is limited. To meet demand and secure cleaner air travel, suppliers need to unlock resources from existing sidestreams like fats and oils. How to scale up? That’s where GEA comes in.

In 1926, Ramesohl & Schmidt (later Westfalia Separator AG) launched their first bucket milking system. The Kirchhoff family was among the first to use it on their farm in Germany.

From milking bucket to robot: 100 years of farm innovation at GEA

For more than 100 years, GEA has developed technologies for dairy farming – from the first bucket milking machines to autonomous, digitally connected systems. These innovations have fundamentally transformed dairy farming: away from labor-intensive routines, toward greater productivity, animal welfare and more efficient day-to-day operations.
