The GTC10 HemiPleat is an EPA 10 filter with a non-discharging and synthetic media that offers the ideal balance between pressure drop, filtration efficiency, and service life. A water-resistant air filter, it offers excellent engine protection and helps reduce carbon emissions per MWh. It is suitable for most high humid applications.

The Watson Cogeneration Plant operates 4 GE, Frame 7EA engines and produces 400 MW for local refineries and sells excess electricity to the grid. The Plant Manager requested air intake efficiency, pressure drop, and water tests from Camfil. The test results revealed the true impact of the synthetic cartridge filters on gas turbine performance.

A side by side comparison shows the benefits of higher grade GTC F9 gas turbine air intake filters for two RB211 gas turbines, even in very clean rural areas. It means a cleaner engine, higher power output, fewer water washes, and fuel savings.
With a growing demand for greener practices, and rising operational costs, it has become imperative that gas turbine operators cut their carbon footprints. Upgraded air intake systems are one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways to meet these demands, while improving operations at the same time.
To answer this question, let's look at the difference between a land based gas turbine and a jet engine.
For several years, Hornsgatan has been designated Sweden's dirtiest street when it comes to air pollution. Hornsgatan is an exposed street when it comes to harmful particles in the air. How does this affect residents?
If you are looking to expand your knowledge on the impact of air filtration on your gas turbines and other turbomachinery, look no more!
The test rig has been calibrated according to standards EN 779, ISO 16890 and ASHRAE 52.2 and was developed for air filter testing simulating the harsh climate conditions where gas turbines are often located.
