While heat pumps and thermal storage grab headlines, resistive electric boilers have been quietly decarbonizing industrial processes for more than half a century. It's time to talk about them.

For decades, industrial heat has been the neglected sector of the energy transition. While electrification was advancing rapidly in areas such as mobility and power generation, thermal processes – pasteurization, drying, sterilization and steam generation –continued to rely almost exclusively on fossil fuels. Today, that paradigm is changing. Industrial heat accounts for about two-thirds of […]
In many chemical, pharmaceutical and food plants, industrial reactors need to operate at around 70 °C using thermal jackets. At the engineering stage, a key question arises: is it more efficient to install a hot water boiler that directly delivers water at 70 °C or to generate steam and use it to heat the reactor […]
From February 10 to 14, GICONMES will be present in FIMA Agricultural 2026the reference fair of the agro-industrial sector, held at Feria de Zaragoza. You will find us in Hall 4 – Stand A/72-74, where we will present our most advanced solutions in industrial steam and automation applied to modern agriculture. Disinfection of plant substrate […]
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 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: […]
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 […]
