Gas turbine inlet air quality is controlled through the proper application of air filtration systems. High quality filtered air prevents gas turbine failures and performance degradation for a variety of climates and environments. Each gas turbine installation has unique air filtration requirements that must be carefully considered. SwRI Machinery Department engineers can assist you with your gas turbine inlet filtration challenges. SwRI engineers provide client assistance in filtration system selection, system design audits, and root cause failure analyses.
