Why Preventive Maintenance Isn’t Just a Formality In a steam system, the cost of not performing maintenance rarely shows up as a repair bill. It appears earlier—and silently—in energy consumption. The scale buildup on the heat exchange surfaces acts as a thermal insulator. A layer just one millimeter thick is enough to require the equipment […]
An electric steam boiler is not just a piece of process equipment—it is a flexibility asset connected to the grid. In Spain, an industrial supply point capable of offering at least 1 MW of manageable power—either on its own or aggregated with other loads—can participate in the balancing markets and earn revenue for availability and […]
Industrial steam allows for the cleaning and sanitizing of critical areas in a plant using less water, no chemicals, and fewer shutdowns, with each Giconmes solution tailored to the specific application.
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: […]
