in EN 1822 Filter Classes E10, E11 and E12
Roughly 70%-85% of power capacity loss in gas turbines is attributable to compressor fouling. Initial efforts to resolve this problem usually focus on online and offline compressor washing. However, these measures restore capacity only marginally and, more importantly, do not prevent long-term damage to rotor blades from particulate impact.
EMW® (H)EPA compact filters address the problem at its roots, removing particulate matter from the inlet air before it can enter the gas turbine and cause fouling and corrosion there. Our E12 Class (H)EPA filters provide over 99.5 % efficiency in removal of even the smallest microparticulates. EMW® offers a wide-ranging product portfolio, permitting selection of the best (H)EPA compact filter for your gas turbine, whatever its design, site air conditions or the operating mode employed. Modification of the existing filter house is typically not required. Our (H)EPA filters provide up to 40 m² media area in a single compact filter unit. Benefitting from low initial pressure drop and expertly engineered prefiltration technology, they routinely achieve service lives of 2-3 years or 16,000-24,000 operating hours.
Our GT compact filters offer up to 38 m² media area in a single space-saving filter unit. A cast airtight seam joins the water-repellent media to the aerodynamically optimized plastic frame. A fully synthetic nonwoven fabric mat on the outlet side enhances pleat strength, ensuring secure operation even with pressure drops in excess of 5000 Pa and under other heavy-duty conditions.
Can be stopped and rotated!
For efficient particulate removal even under heavy-duty operating conditions.
Innovative minipleat technology provides maximum filter media area in the smallest of spaces.
EMW® minipleat compact filters for gas turbine applications are equipped with a pleat reinforcing mat on their outlet side. This reinforcement system provides superb toughness and other advantages over conventional metal or plastic reinforcing grids. The result: heavy-duty strength and outstanding dependability even under extreme conditions such as pressure drops greater than 5000 Pa.
EMW® GT compact filters incorporate a specially designed plastic frame which minimizes turbulent air flow in gas turbine inlet air filtration. GT compact filters provide further benefits as well: they are easy to install and fully incinerable for simple disposal after use.
The filter media is joined to the frame by an airtight full-perimeter joint. The joined module is finished with a continuous foamed-in-place seal applied on the inlet or outlet side as desired.
