CO2 saving processes
Systems tailored to harvest most of the waste heat out of industrial processes and transform them into electricity. A smaller carbon footprint, waste energy reuse, cost optimization and higher overall efficiency are only some of its advantages.
Process for WHRU in the Cement Industry
GEA has been supplying heat recovery systems for the cement industry for more than a decade.
Both on the raw gas side upstream of an emission control system as well as downstream of an emission control system: GEA offers tried and tested waste heat recovery system that do not impact your production process while recovering a large amount of waste heat. On the raw gas side with sticky dust an online cleaning system is applied to keep heat transfer at an optimum over years. With this, GEA supplied WHRUs up to 6.1 MW thermal power, converting it to 1 MW of electrical energy via the ORC process and/or powering your SCR as well.
Currently applied to the glass industry for power generation via an ORC or for heating purposes, the system is ready to utilize waste heat for a CEBO® Carbon Capturing unit instead.
Process for WHRU in the Glass Industry
In the last years the high prices of energy and the need to reduce CO2 emissions increased the importance of energy recovery applications for all industrial processes.
Hot process gas going to the plant stack means losing valuable thermal energy which could be easily recovered and/or converted in electric power. Waste heat in industry is a poten...
Energy-intensive processes process industry generate high amounts of waste emissions that are often unexploited. However, using their thermal energy would make good sense, both economically and ecologically, with regard to steadily rising energy costs, the need of companies to stay competitive, and increasingly strict environmental regulations. ...
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
Engineering innovation often takes the form of incremental gains. Once in a while, it takes a leap. Case in point: The washing machine. Launched in September 2022, two new GEA software solutions are upending convention and delivering similarly dramatic efficiency gains in the resource-intensive process of membrane filtration.
