Energy

The reliable, cost-effective supply of energy, making efficient use of resources, ensures the quality of life and economic growth for us all. This uninterrupted supply requires systems that operate trouble-free, efficiently and reliably in all load ranges. With the related processing and handling of fuel oils, lube oils and fuels for turbines and diesel engine power installations in power plants, GEA Westfalia Separator Group makes a major contribution towards future-proofed energy supplies.

Our separators and systems for the energy industry handle the following:

• Processing and handling of fuels for diesel and gas turbines
• Processing and handling of lube oils
• Processing of oil-water-solids mixtures
• Processing of waste water containing oil

Our processing installations are designed on a customized basis, taking account of the nature of the fuels and oils used. The design is influenced by various factors, for instance customized dimensions, viscosity, density and degree of contamination.

For instance, our separators are used for removing trace elements from fuels that cause corrosion during combustion. The reliable desalination of fuel oil and solids separation by our separators reduces the corrosion problems to the minimum level possible and ensures trouble-free operation.

Water, fines and other contaminants can considerably affect performance. In serious cases, there is the risk of unscheduled downtime or complete failure with consequences that very quickly can become extremely expensive. Our processing systems also ensure permanent safety and constantly high performance of continuously-operating, self-cleaning separators and of complete processing systems with a high degree of automation in every performance class.

To replace existing systems, expand performance limits, automate processes and simultaneously reduce service and maintenance costs, GEA Westfalia Separator Group offers retrofit units that are easy to install and improve processing efficiency.
