This certainly includes oil fields with heavy oil and oil fields in deep-sea regions as well as oil and gas fields located in areas that are difficult to develop. Fields that have already been developed offer new opportunities, such as the processes of EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) or oil fields with extra-heavy crude oil, for example in Kuwait, Russia, South America and Canada.
In order to make these resources available to the world market efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner in the future, efficient and resource-saving technologies are required. With the supply of plug and play processing systems which comply with even the most stringent environmental requirements, GEA's mechanical separation solutions plays a decisive role here. They handle continuous liquid-liquid-solids separation in a wide range of applications and capacities. The high-performance disk-stack centrifuges are specifically designed to cope with the needs and circumstances in various process setups in on- and offshore installations for oil and gas production.

GEA separators are designed for liquid-based applications. Using centrifugal force, they are used for separating suspensions consisting of two or more phases of different densities, i.e. they can be used for liquid-liquid separation, for liquid-liquid-solid separation or for liquid-solid separation. They are equally as effective at separating liq...
The decanter’s hour has come as soon as the solids content in the suspension to be processed is particularly high. These machines provide the benefits of high clarifying efficiency and maximum dewatering as well as the separation of liquids with the simultaneous removal of solids. The main requirements in this respect include a high bowl speed, a...
GEA gas compressors are key system components in oil & gas extraction and processing operations, in power generation plants with gas turbines, in chemical processing and in numerous other industries.
Jet pumps, also referred to as ejectors, are devices for the conveyance, compression or mixing of gases, vapors, liquids or solids and for the production of vacuum in which a gaseous or liquid medium serves as the motive force.
GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
