The intake portion of a turbine system is the beginning of the entire unit, and the quality and design of the intake system greatly effects the efficiency and overall quality of the turbine system. The main job of an intake system is to provide clean, filtered air within a set range of parameters for a […]

Gas Turbine Filtration Separation Pre-Filters and Final Stage Filters
Gas turbines require a series of filters to work at their highest potential capacity in a wide variety of environments. These filtration stages can vary widely depending on the use of the turbine and the intended environment. All gas turbines require both pre-filters and final-stage filters to work properly, but the filters work best when […]
Gas Turbine Inlet Filtration—Barrier Filters VS Pulse Filters
While there are many types of filters that can be used in a gas turbine, most can be divided into two categories—barrier filters and pulse filters. BARRIER FILTERSA simple example of a barrier filter can be found in your home. All heating and cooling systems in homes and apartments require air filters to function properly. […]
Stages of Filtration for Gas Turbines
For a gas turbine, rarely is a single filter sufficient to reduce or eliminate particulates. Therefore, multiple stages of filtration are required. A filtration “stage” is simply a type of filter that is designed to remove either a specific contaminant or type of contaminant from the air or is designed to filter a specific particle […]
Gas Turbine Filtration
Gas turbines are powerful machines that require a tremendous amount of air. To give you an example of how much air is required by the average turbine, a 30,000 hp turbine might have a mass flow of over 500,000 lb/hour. If the air that’s being pulled in has 1 part per million (PPM) of particulate […]
