Centrifuge
Separators for Power Plants
Centrifugal separators from GEA are used in power plants to treat fuel oils and lube oils for turbines and diesel engines. Precision separation is essential to the smooth operation of generators. The result is a reliable, cost-effective supply of energy and efficient use of natural resources. An uninterrupted power supply requires systems that operate trouble-free, efficiently and reliably in all load ranges.
Power plants in extremely cold regions are exposed to fundamentally different environmental conditions than those installed in red hot desert regions. These adverse conditions are made even more difficult, depending on the region, by an immense difference in the quality of the fuels fed into the gas turbines or diesel engines of the power plants. But the goal is the same for both extremes: the energy must flow.Round-the-clock. With no exceptions.
Power plant concepts are required which work trouble-free, efficiently and environmentally friendly in all load ranges. The continuous treatment of fuel and lube oils for turbines and diesel engines is the key to reliable power supply.
The conceptual design of the treatment systems is precision work which is optimally adapted to the composition of the fuels and oils used. The separators, for example, separate trace elements from the fuels which can cause corrosion damage at high exhaust gas temperatures. The reliable fuel desalting and solids separation reduces the corrosion to a technically realizable minimum and ensures smooth operation. Water, abrasion and impurities can likewise negatively impact the life of the plant components. In severe cases, there is a risk of unscheduled downtime and high breakdown costs.
The treatment systems from GEA are designed to assure constantly high availability. In all these fields of application, the OSE separator generation is entering a new dimension.
Safety in focus:
- Fuel oil treatment for diesel engines and gas turbines
- Lube oil treatment
- Treatment of oil-water-solids mixtures

GEA reports profitable growth for 2025 and expects accelerated revenue growth
GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
How SmartParc is rewriting the rules of food production
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
The food science playground
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
