Advanced Carbon Capture Solutions | Industrial CO2 Reduction
GEA offers a diverse range of Carbon Capture Solutions designed to help industries significantly reduce their CO2 emissions. Our systems achieve a capture rate of ≥ 90% while optimizing energy efficiency, providing tailored solutions for sectors like cement, steel, bioenergy, waste-to-energy and chemicals.
Catalytic gas cleaning
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) diminishes post-combustion NOx by reacting with urea or ammonia to produce nitrogen and water.
CO2 saving processes
CO2 savings come from reducing fossil fuel demand either by increasing energy efficiency or by separating CO2 from flue gas streams along with long-term fixation in valuable products or storage. GEA offers products and processes for all relevant stages.
Cooling, quenching & conditioning
The Rapid Cooling or Quenching of gas streams is used in several essential applications in the process industries.
