Without chemistry, progress and civilisation are no longer imaginable. Whether tensides in washing detergents, PVCs in floor coverings, high-tech fibres for clothing, colourings or phosphoric acids in soft drinks - all areas of life are to a greater or lesser extent affected by the developments in the chemical industries.

The worldwide consumption of just the one plastic PET - for example for carpets, upholstery, clothing, seat belts and bottles - was already at a level of 29 megatonnes in the year 2000 - and rising!

Since in these industry sectors concentrated acids, fuels, gases and explosive materials, amongst others, are part of the everyday business, safety and protection of the environment are absolutely essential prerequisites for GEA’s systems and facilities.

In the petrochemical industries the raw material of oil is converted to gas. The companies in the petrochemical industries are investing in new procedures and facilities.

For all of these processes the companies of GEA are the people to talk to for all your cooling needs.
