Gas turbines

Turbine Filters

In the world of energy generation, gas turbines play a crucial role, and filtration is an essential part of managing these powerful machines. This page explores the role of filtration in the context of gas turbines, why it is vital for their performance, the common filters used, key considerations when selecting filters, example situations where filtration has an impact, and how Interfilter can provide you with non-binding filter advice.

Why Filtration in Gas Turbines?

Filtration in gas turbines is crucial for several reasons:

  • Equipment Protection: Gas turbines are valuable devices, and filtration protects their sensitive internal components from damage caused by contaminants in the air and fuel streams.
  • Performance Optimization: Clean air and fuel contribute to the efficiency and performance of gas turbines, resulting in better energy generation and cost savings.
  • Emission Control: Filtration helps to reduce emissions of harmful substances, ensuring that gas turbines comply with environmental standards and regulations.
  • Reliability: Minimizing contamination and component degradation increases the reliability and lifespan of gas turbines.

Common filters in gas turbines

Important when selecting filters for gas turbines

When selecting filters for gas turbines, there are important considerations:

  • Efficiency: Filters must provide the right filtration efficiency to maintain the required air quality and remove harmful particles.
  • Compatibility: Filters must be compatible with the air and fuel sources of the gas turbine to prevent corrosion or degradation.
  • Compliance: Filters must meet industry standards and regulations, as well as the specific requirements of the gas turbine manufacturer.
  • Maintenance: Filters must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure optimal performance.

Example situations of filtration in gas turbines

Example situations where filtration impacts gas turbines include:

  • Inlet air filtration: Removing dust, pollen, and particles to purify the inlet air and extend the life of turbine blades.
  • Fuel filtration: Filtering fuel to remove harmful contaminants that can affect combustion efficiency.
  • Exhaust gas filtration: Reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides and other pollutants to meet environmental standards.
