Emission control
Non-ferrous
The global non-ferrous market is a fast growing and well performing market with high potential for the future. Non-ferrous metals include a number of different qualities and values. To follow trends and requirements emission control is one of the key-words for the future.
Gas cleaning units for process and non-ferrous industry
Environmental protection is not only a form of self-preservation of humanity but also a positive trend in the industry.
GEA is a reliable partner for gas cleaning solutions in nearly all areas of non-ferrous production. To ensure the air pollution control, gas cleaning systems are essential components in the process chain. Focusing on cleaning SO2-based gases in the process of sulphuric acid, covers roasters, smelting furnaces and converters for various non-ferrous products including:
- Copper
- Zinc
- Lead
- Molybdenum
Environmental solutions in you process chain might look for example as follows:
Zinc, pyrite and gold roasting smelting furnaces and converters for copper production
- Dust removal from hot gases using cyclones and dry electrostatic precipitators
- Washing and cooling plants (quenching towers, Venturi or radial flow scrubbers, packed cooling towers) including fluorine removal
- Separation of dust, heavy metals and sulphuric acid mist with wet electrostatic precipitators
- Separation of mercury in the calomel process
Rotary kilns
- Fine dust removal and separation of sulphuric acid mist using wet electrostatic precipitators
- Separation of sulphur dioxide using wet and dry procedures on the basis of limestone and caustic soda

All pharmaceutical freeze-drying vials are the same! Aren't they?
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
Alcohol-free beer: They want it all – they want less
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
Innovating patient care with aseptic spray drying
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
