Steam accumulators, or how to double the steam of your electric boiler without increasing the contracted power.
Looking to optimize the performance of your electric boiler and reduce energy costs? Steam accumulators, also known as steam batteries, are the solution that many industries are implementing to improve energy efficiency and save up to 20% in electricity consumption. In this article you will discover how steam accumulators work, how they keep steam non-condensing […]

The European dairy industry, responsible for processing more than 150 million tons of raw milk annually, is facing a historic turning point. The traditional reliance on natural gas for steam generation – essential in pasteurization, UHT sterilization and CIP cleaningprocesses –has become a strategic liability due to volatile energy markets and the imminent implementation of […]
In recent years, European organic farming has made a silent but decisive leap forward. More and more nurseries, greenhouses and intensive crop producers are adopting a century-old technology… reinvented for the 21st century: soil steaming, or thermal sterilization of soil by saturated steam. The reason for its boom is simple: it works, it is sustainable, […]
In the food industry, microbiological risk is no longer a one-off issue: it is a structural challenge that threatens product safety, operational continuity and regulatory compliance. Among all pathogens, Listeria monocytogenes stands out for its ability to survive, regenerate and resist even in cold environments. But there is an even more difficult enemy to eradicate: […]
In recent months, headlines such as “Europe to ban gas boilers” or “end of gas in new buildings” have been circulating. While these sound alarmist, they reflect something that is indeed happening: a profound regulatory shift in the way we heat buildings in Europe. But – and here comes the part that almost nobody explains […]
The European Union has opened a historic opportunity for industries that want to replace their gas or oil-fired boilers with clean electric solutions. Through the new Innovation Fund – Heat Auction 2025 program, the European Commission will allocate €1 billion in direct grants for projects that electrify process heat and reduce CO₂ emissions in industry. […]
We are delighted to announce that Giconmes will be exhibiting at Hygienalia 2025, the leading trade fair for hygiene, professional cleaning and services for industrial and commercial environments. The event will take place on November 4, 5 and 6, 2025 at IFEMA Madrid, an essential meeting point for manufacturers, distributors, service companies, maintenance managers, facility […]
Traditionally, steam has been used as a source of thermal energy for cooking, sterilization or cleaning processes. However, technological advances in electrical steam generation and temperature control have revealed a new dimension: steam as an active chemical reagent, or process chemical. In this new stage, steam not only transfers heat: it reacts with materials, modifies […]
On the road to a more sustainable and efficient industry, process electrification is a decisive step. Electric steam generators already represent a clean alternative to traditional fossil fuel boilers, but their true potential is multiplied when combined with renewable energies such as solar or wind power. A strategic alliance: green electricity + electric steam The […]
