Duesseldorf/Germany – As one of the world's largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for the architectural, automotive and technology industries, plant engineering and system supplier Gea developed and installed a high-performance gas purification system for glass line production “Line I” at the San Salvo site of Pilkington Italy in 2020. In July 2024, a new order was placed for “Line II”.

Gea's "state-of-the-art" gas cleaning system included a Denox reactor and the associated components for storage, transport and dosing of reagent. The new Gea gas cleaning plant reduces emissions for Nox down to 500 mg/Nm, this is an extremely significant reduction in the environmentally harmful emissions that occur during energy-intensive glass production. This way, Gea solutions make a significant contribution to meeting the customer's environmental regulation compliance and sustainability targets.

Gea assisted Pilkington with the technical and process definitions, resulting in a plant that is readily equipped for a potential further energetical upgrade with a waste heat recovery system.
