Bochum/Oelde, 2 December 2008 – The Mechanical Separation Division of GEA
Group Aktiengesellschaft has received two major orders from the Middle East
with an aggregate volume of EUR 16 million. The contracts are for the
supply of complete fuel treatment systems for power generation purposes
based on gas turbines utilizing liquid fuels.

The system solutions designed and engineered by GEA Westfalia Separator
will desalt, separate water and remove impurities from the crude oil that
is used as primary fuel. Furthermore, the fuel will be conditioned in terms
of temperature and pressure in order to assure continuous and reliable fuel
supply of the gas turbines.

Both applications mark another milestone in the Middle East where GEA
Westfalia Separator enjoys an excellent reputation due to numerous
successfully executed projects over the last years. The key factor of the
sustainable success of GEA in this region is the ability to supply
customized system solutions that are able to fulfill the complex
requirements of fuel treatment in the field of power generation. By the end
of 2009 both projects will be finalized.
