Water-repellent air filters for offshore and coastal

AAF has developed a range of air filters with water repellent media, which makes them suitable for use in gas turbine powered offshore and coastal generation installations.

The Hydro range is available in standard sizes specifically designed to improve gas turbine compressor cleanliness by reducing the ingress of water, oil and salt, in coastal power generation sites, offshore oil/gas platforms and in-land gas compressor stations. The range consists of the HydroCel, HydroVee and HydroPleat air filters. The HydroCel employs HEPA grade technology and fouling and erosion of the gas turbine blades has been reduced to such an extent that engine washes need not be performed until a running time of 8000 plus hours has been passed, AAF says.

The HydroVee and HydroPleat lighter-weight units are designed for less hostile coastal power generation plants and in-land gas pumping stations and have the choice of deep-pleat or mini-pleat media construction.
