Emission control
Non-ferrous
The global non-ferrous market is a fast growing and well performing market with high potential for the future. Non-ferrous metals include a number of different qualities and values. To follow trends and requirements emission control is one of the key-words for the future.
Gas cleaning units for process and non-ferrous industry
Environmental protection is not only a form of self-preservation of humanity but also a positive trend in the industry.
GEA is a reliable partner for gas cleaning solutions in nearly all areas of non-ferrous production. To ensure the air pollution control, gas cleaning systems are essential components in the process chain. Focusing on cleaning SO2-based gases in the process of sulphuric acid, covers roasters, smelting furnaces and converters for various non-ferrous products including:
- Copper
- Zinc
- Lead
- Molybdenum
Environmental solutions in you process chain might look for example as follows:
Zinc, pyrite and gold roasting smelting furnaces and converters for copper production
- Dust removal from hot gases using cyclones and dry electrostatic precipitators
- Washing and cooling plants (quenching towers, Venturi or radial flow scrubbers, packed cooling towers) including fluorine removal
- Separation of dust, heavy metals and sulphuric acid mist with wet electrostatic precipitators
- Separation of mercury in the calomel process
Rotary kilns
- Fine dust removal and separation of sulphuric acid mist using wet electrostatic precipitators
- Separation of sulphur dioxide using wet and dry procedures on the basis of limestone and caustic soda

A new recipe for indulgence
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.
