Produced water treatment
Produced water from oil and gas extraction must be treated to remove contaminants before it can be safely discharged or reinjected. GEA provides efficient and cost-effective processing systems for this purpose ensuring environmental protection and compliance with regulations.

Meeting IMO regulations
Across various processes in the oil and gas industry, including the treatment of produced water, strict adherence to environmental regulations is crucial. To meet the standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), GEA offers specialized high-performance, self-cleaning centrifugal separators and clarifying decanter centrifuges. The goal is to efficiently reduce the oil content to levels below the legally specified limits, often set at 15 ppm or 5 ppm in some regions.
Suitable for offshore and onshore use
GEA's self-cleaning disk-type centrifuges are widely used on drilling vessels and platforms globally, delivering reliable and efficient performance. Thanks to their direct drive and the fact that they are not affected by movements of the vessels, these machines are perfect for offshore tasks but are equally suitable for onshore usage. Depending on the specific requirements, our machines are also available in gas-tight and explosion-protected versions.
Mainstream treatment
Disk stack centrifuges play a crucial role in the mainstream treatment of produced water. Utilizing centrifugal force, these machines efficiently separate fine oil droplets and solid particles from the water. Integrating disk stack centrifuges into the treatment process ensures improved clarity and purity, complying with environmental standards for safe disposal or reinjection.

Sidestream treatment
Decanter centrifuges are vital in the sidestream treatment of produced water. These robust machines efficiently separate solids from liquids by using high-speed rotational forces, making them ideal for handling large volumes of water with high solid content. Incorporating decanter centrifuges into the produced water treatment process significantly boosts the elimination of suspended solids, thus enhancing water quality.

Centrifuga decanter
Il momento dell'impiego del decanter sopraggiunge quando il contenuto di solidi nella sospensione da lavorare è particolarmente elevato. Tali macchine hanno il vantaggio di garantire un'elevata efficienza a livello di chiarificazione e i massimi risultati a livello di estrazione dell'acqua, oltre a consentire la separazione dei liq...
Miscelatori di liquidi
La miscelazione è un processo fondamentale nella produzione di una vasta serie di prodotti in svariati settori industriali. Grazie alla vasta esperienza e al know-how tecnologico acquisito, GEA offre un'ampia gamma di soluzioni di miscelazione in batch, in continuo e progettate su specifica interna per applicazioni uniche in grado di soddisfare l...
Pompe a getto
Le pompe a getto, denominate anche eiettori, sono dispositivi per il trasporto, la compressione o la miscelazione di gas, vapori, liquidi o solidi, e per la creazione di vuoto, in cui una sostanza gassosa o liquida fornisce la forza motrice.
Separatore centrifugo
I separatori di GEA sono progettati per applicazioni a base liquida. Utilizzano la forza centrifuga per separare sospensioni composte da due o più fasi di densità diverse; possono cioè essere utilizzati per la separazione liquido-liquido, la separazione liquido-liquido-solido o la separazione liquido-solido. Separano miscele liquide con la stessa...

Zoccoli sani, animali più sani
Negli allevamenti vige una regola semplice ma fondamentale: gli zoccoli devono essere sani. Quando questo presupposto viene meno, le prestazioni, il benessere e l'efficienza ne risentono immediatamente, a prescindere da quanto all'avanguardia possa essere l'azienda.
GEA opens new technology center, strengthening its position in the growing pharmaceutical applications market
Together with Mona Neubaur, Minister of Economic Affairs of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, GEA CEO Stefan Klebert has opened a new technology center for pharmaceutical freeze-drying systems in Elsdorf, Germany. GEA employs approximately 260 people at the facility, which combines research and development with production and service under one roof.
