Soil Steaming: the technique that is revolutionizing organic farming in Europe
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 […]
In industry, steam demand is never linear. There are processes that require a constant and stable consumption, while others operate with varying peaks depending on production. Having the right steam generator makes all the difference: it ensures efficiency, reduces costs and guarantees operational continuity. That’s where modular electric steam generators come in. What does it […]
In many industrial plants, steam production relies on large, multi-megawatt diesel or oil-fired boilers. These units are robust, capable of meeting the entire steam demand of the facility, but they are not always the most efficient or flexible option for covering peak consumption, start-up periods or one-off needs. This is where electric steam boilers come […]
