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

Feeding the future: The power of freeze-drying innovation
Waste reduction is important to us at GEA, and by harnessing the power of freeze drying technology, we can transform surplus food into valuable, long-lasting products – helping to reduce waste, extend shelf life and build a more resilient food supply for generations to come.
GEA and Pulmuone honor generations of cold noodle craftsmanship
When plant-forward South Korean food producer Pulmuone brought GEA the challenge of developing a modern spin on the traditional chewy cold (naengmyeon) noodle, GEA’s R&D experts were up to the challenge. They helped develop what is now a commercial hit produced with less water and electricity than previously existing methods. The result is also true to the traditional origins of the dish as well as Pulmuone’s health, well-being and sustainability roots.
