Heat accounts for more than half of the global total final energy consumption, mostly produced from fossil fuels. If we want to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, we need to accelerate heat decarbonation. We need a real game changer. When it comes to decarbonizing heat, heat pump technology with a proven track record is just that. In the drive for a carbon-neutral future, energy-efficient heat pumps are rapidly becoming the technology of choice.

Collaboration between the University of Applied Sciences & Arts Hannover with GEA Westfalia Separator Group GmbH to develop a process for spore removal in artisanal cheese dairies to prevent late blowing defects.
Whey separation has long been an important component for effective whey refining. Today, whey clarification, whey skimming and bacteria removal offer the possibility of processing the whey in such a way that it is optimally prepared for the subsequent refining steps and the reutilization of the side streams is possible.
In processing plants that focus on ESL (extended shelf-life), UltraClean and aseptic applications, both the valve/piping design implementation and the valve matrix configurations are unlike those utilized with hygienic applications. Gain an understanding of the technical features, advantages and benefits of GEA's double-seat valves and how they also make economic sense.
