Emission control

Refinery

Protecting your planet means knowing exactly how much and where to invest to make your process chain as environmental-friendly as possible. Production performance can be optimized through emission control technology within the refinery itself or integrated petrochemical production, to considerably improve economics and meet governmental regulations. Becoming a part of the so called “Green Industry”, emission control technology is required. Customers from this industrial sector have been relying on GEA innovative technology for ages.
