The power of the bigger picture

The power of the bigger picture

True efficiency gains often require a holistic review of plant operations, beyond incremental improvements. While some improvement in plant efficiency can be achieved in small, incremental steps, the largest gains come from examining plants holistically, across the entire process chain.

Our expertise spans the entire process chain, enabling us to collaborate closely with you to identify and implement comprehensive enhancements—
ranging from single optimizable process, and machinery upgrades, to switching from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources. 

Add Better Consulting will empower you with the what and the how regarding improvements – both short-term and long-term. Every step of that journey will transcend into the long-term strategy to reach your sustainability goals.

How do we help you reach zero emissions?

Our customer’s success stories:

Britvic and Innocent have already embraced our strategy, witnessing tangible results.

Action speaks louder than words. Results speak louder than action. GEA has offered consulting and implementation of holistic engineering solutions for years. Read how we helped Britvic cut the factory’s carbon emissions by an estimated 1,200 tons annually, and about innocent who runs a carbon neutral manufacturing site, The Blender, in the Netherlands.

Een kleine stap, een enorme bijdrage

Koolstofneutrale sapproductie

De experts van GEA staan voor de volle 100% achter de grote dromen van innocent. Dit is het verhaal van “‘s werelds favoriete gezonde drankjesfabriek” en hoe alleen oplossingen die de koolstofdioxide-emissies en het waterverbruik verlagen, en die afval als grondstof benutten erdoor zijn gekomen.

GEA heat recovery system helps Britvic reduce its carbon footprint

GEA supplies Britvic, one of UK’s leading soft drinks manufacturers, with a heat recovery system at its Beckton site, in London. The installation begins this summer and will result in cutting the factory’s carbon emissions by an estimated 1,200 tons annually – equivalent to the annual energy usage of around 500 UK homes.
