Gas turbines are highly efficient, sensitive machines that can be used to generate electricity or as a mechanical drive to power different processes. They are used all over the world in environmental and operational conditions that can vary drastically. That's why the filter solution should be adapted to offer adequate protection.
In the power generation industry, site-specific air filtration will ensure maximum efficiency for base load plants, and worry-free ownership for peaker plants. As renewable energy increases, the market competitiveness for generators and gas turbines needs to be more efficient to maintain profitability. Camfil smart air filtration solutions are designed to provide the highest profitability.
With narrow spark spread and increased competitiveness, base-load plants can improve margins by protecting their gas turbine with adapted EPA filtration. As every gain in efficiency means longer run time and higher profitability, our filtration solutions are designed to maintain the engine in pristine condition and increase fuel efficiency. As base load plants are critical to the grid, our reliable and long-life EPA filtration solutions enable you to increase availability and reliability.
Peakers have to go online quickly, often without notice. Our high-performance, robust filter solutions ensure that you can ramp up anytime. When availability on-demand is vital, reliable solutions allow you to operate at the highest fuel efficiency with the lowest emissions, enabling long-term prosperity.
In O&G applications, whether on offshore production platforms, fracking sites or refineries, turbines often face the challenge of a variety of aggressive contaminants like salt, heavy hydrocarbons or aggressive gases. In critical processes, these challenges need to be taken seriously. Backed by more than 50 years of experience, our solutions are flexible and optimised for each application, from compact EPA solutions offshore, to mobile units on fracking sites, to molecular solutions when subjected to corrosive gas. If you have specific requirements, there's a good chance we have the industry experience to help you.
With test rigs that mimic extreme conditions, from salt & water spray to high air flows and high burst pressure, our R&D group is focused on ensuring reliability. We challenge our products in real site conditions using our mobile testing trailers, the CamLabs, and are always ready to show you actual performance data. Our patented solutions like the CamGT 3V-600 have pushed the industry limits when it comes to water handling capability, salt removal efficiency and lower operating pressure drop. When reliability is critical, your air filters should be just as dependable.

Gli impianti offshore hanno a che fare con sale, infiltrazioni d'acqua e polveri sottili. Sono soggetti a sfide di spazio e logistiche. Si consiglia il drenaggio integrato multistadio e la filtrazione EPA idrofobica finale.
I climi rigidi portano con sé tutte le problematiche generate dalle abbondanti nevicate e dal rischio di ghiaccio sulla superficie dei filtri, con conseguente innalzamento delle perdite di carico, o alla bocca della campana con danno ancora maggiori.
Siti urbani e industriali temono il particolato corrosivo da combustione e processi industriali. Una filtrazione EPA multistadio a bassa perdita di carico impedisce che il particolato fine danneggi le turbine, mantenendo le loro prestazioni ottimali.
Nei siti rurali e agricoli, sorgenti di contaminanti stagionali e microparticelle richiedono particolare attenzione. Fenomeni di incrostazione sono causati da particelle inferiori ad 1 micron e si riscontrano anche in ambienti apparentementi puliti; per questi motivi una filtrazione con filtri EPA offre benefici importanti ed efficaci.
Gli ambienti costieri e tropicali sono caratterizzati dal rischio aggiunto di potenziale ingresso di acqua. Il particolato in soluzione acquosa aumenta il rischio di corrosione ed incrostazioni, specialmente se presente anche sale. In questi casi è raccomandata una soluzione multi-stadio, drenante e con stadio finale di filtrazione con filtri EPA idrofobici .
In ambienti aridi con polvere grossolana, una bassa perdita di carico e una lunga operativa dei filtri è fondamentale. In presenza anche di particelle fini, sale e/o contaminanti corrosivi, sistemi combinati offrono una maggiore protezione.
La qualità dell'aria è fondamentale per le prestazioni e la durata delle tue turbine a gas. Questa infografica mostra l'impatto della filtrazione, le cause delle scarse prestazioni, la mitigazione e il nuovo standard di filtrazione ISO 29461.

What if we told you that 98% air and 2% fuel is the input of your most valuable assets, your turbines? Now what if we told you that 100% of that air contains pollutants that can damage your turbines if they’re not properly filtered?
Le turbine a gas sono soggette a incrostazioni e danni se le goccioline d’acqua e i contaminanti solubili in acqua, ad es. il sale, vengono ingeriti da un motore.
Durante le tempeste, i filtri sono soggetti a una grande quantità di acqua. Sia l’efficienza di filtrazione che la perdita di carico possono essere compromesse se il drenaggio del filtro non è adeguatamente progettato o se l’idrofobicità del media non è sufficiente.
Protect your gas turbine from ice formation during high humidity and low temperatures. Insufficient icing protection may result in inlet filter system issues and ice formation at the turbine inlet.
