Turbine compressor fouling
Sub-micron intake particulate degrades compressor efficiency measurably within weeks and permanently after fouling becomes adherent.
Energy · Industry
Turbine intake, fuel gas, condensate and cooling-water filtration where an unplanned outage costs more than the plant's filtration budget.
- Turbine intake filtration class
- E12
- m³/h gas filtration per vessel
- 120,000
- Availability protection target
- 99.9%
The constraint
Availability protected at every intake and every loop.
A power station's filtration exists to protect availability. A fouled turbine compressor or a damaged condenser tube costs more in a week of lost generation than the plant will spend on filtration in a decade.
Standards we work to
- EN 1822
- ISO 16890
- ISO 29461
- ASME VIII Div. 1
- IEC 60068
Fuel gas liquid carryover
Liquid slugs reaching combustors cause flame instability and hot-section damage in a single event.
Cooling water biofouling
Open-loop cooling accumulates biological and suspended solids that halve condenser heat transfer over a season.
Condensate iron transport
Corrosion products carried into the boiler deposit on tube surfaces and drive both efficiency loss and tube failure.
