Coal tar
Discover the significance of coal tar as a by-product in the petrochemical and steel industries, along with its various uses.
Benefits of our centrifuges:
- Increased tar quality through efficient removal of solids
- Dewatering in one step
- Reduced operating costs for tank cleaning
- Easier storage and transport of coal tar
- Closed, environmentally and operator friendly process
Coal tar is a by-product that is formed during the coking of coal which is essential for producing coke for steel production. This viscous by-product contains a variety of compounds, including up to 5% water and various other components. This complex composition of coal tar can vary considerably, making its treatment and refinement a challenging task.
GEA's advanced centrifuge technology makes the coal tar treatment process more efficient. Our two- and three-phase decanter centrifuges are equipped with highly corrosion-resistant materials and are designed for efficient separation of solids, tar and water, achieving high-quality results. Our equipment is capable of extracting a considerable amount of solids from the cleared tar and can also decrease the water content to minimal levels. This level of precision in separation not only improves the quality of the coal tar, but also makes it easier to store and transport.
In addition, GEA's centrifuges contribute to a closed, environmentally and operator friendly process that minimizes waste and reduces the need for extensive tank cleaning. The versatility of our decanters enables the processing of coal tar with varying solids content, ensuring optimal performance tailored to the specific needs of each customer.
Within the petrochemical and steel sectors, refined coal tar serves as a crucial resource for producing various chemicals and numerous valuable raw materials. GEA's centrifuge technology plays a key role in enhancing the purity and usability of coal tar for these applications, thereby supporting the entire value chain.
Choose GEA for your coal tar treatment solutions, and benefit from our expertise, innovative technology, and commitment to sustainability. Our solutions not only meet the high standards of the industry but also contribute to a cleaner and more efficient production process.

Nourrir le futur : La puissance novatrice de la lyophilisation
Pour nous, chez GEA, la réduction des déchets est importante. Nous sommes conscients qu’en exploitant la puissance de la technologie de la lyophilisation, nous pouvons transformer les denrées alimentaires en excédent en produits de valeur qui dureront longtemps, pour aider à réduire les déchets, allonger la durée de conservation et mettre en place un système agroalimentaire plus résilient pour les générations à venir.
GEA et Pulmuone rendent hommage à des générations de fabrication artisanale de naengmyeon
Lorsque le producteur de denrées alimentaires à base végétale sud-coréen Pulmuone a mis GEA au défi de moderniser ses nouilles froides traditionnelles, les « naengmyeon », les spécialistes R&D de GEA ont saisi la balle au bond. Ils ont aidé l’entreprise à développer un plat, qui est aujourd’hui une vraie réussite commerciale et dont la production consomme moins d’eau et d’électricité que les méthodes qui existaient auparavant. Le résultat est, par ailleurs, fidèle aux origines traditionnelles de ce plat et aux racines de Pulmuone, qui sont la santé, le bien-être et le développement durable.
