Gas Turbine Inlet Filters survive harsh environments.

Press Release Summary:



Suited for self-cleaning applications, Nanomedia LP9 pulse filter cartridge utilizes Nanomedia technology to deliver sub-micron particulate removal, with initial efficiency greater than 80% at 0.3 microns, and is rated MERV 15. Minipleat filters F8MX and F9MX, rated MERV 15 and 16 respectively per ASHRAE 52.2, are designed for low pressure loss and provide dust-holding capacity that prolongs filter life. They suit operating environments across power generation and oil/gas industries.

GE Energy Launches New Gas Turbine Inlet Filters



Filter Life Extended and Dust-Holding Capability Increased Power-Gen International 2008
Booth #4600

ORLANDO, FLA.-December 2, 2008-GE Energy announced the launch of its new gas turbine inlet filters for static and self-cleaning applications. The new high-performance filters complement the existing range of GE Energy inlet filtration systems and are suitable for use in some of the world's harshest environments. Tailoring the inlet system of a gas turbine to its operating conditions is vital to help deliver optimum performance and efficiency.

The two filters added to the product line include a Nanomedia LP9 pulse filter cartridge for self-cleaning applications and F8MX and F9MX minipleat filters.
The Nanomedia LP9 pulse filter cartridge for self-cleaning applications utilizes GE's high performance Nanomedia technology to deliver excellent levels of sub-micron particulate removal (initial efficiency greater than 80% at 0.3 microns) and low pressure loss. Rated MERV 15 per ASHRAE 52.2 and F9 per EN779:2002, this new filter is particularly suited to environments with high levels of small particulate such as deserts or industrial areas.

A membrane of superfine synthetic fibers is applied to a specially engineered spun-bond base media layer to effectively capture high levels of sub-micron particulate (patent pending). Filtration and pressure loss characteristics remain optimized whether the filter is operating in wet or dry conditions and at high or low levels of humidity. The Nanomedia LP9 pulse filter cartridge helps extend filter life and increase dust-holding capabilities.

GE Energy's new F8MX and F9MX minipleat filters provide high dust-holding capacity to prolong filter life and help reduce operating costs. Rated MERV 15 and 16 respectively per ASHRAE 52.2 (F8 and F9 per EN779:2002), these static filters are designed for low pressure loss to enable optimum power output and are suitable for use in a range of operating environments across the power generation and oil and gas industries. Ideal for high humidity applications, the use of advanced synthetic media combinations ensures that filtration and pressure loss characteristics remain optimized across a wide range of operating conditions. Available in industry-standard sizes, the filter elements are suitable for both GE- and non-GE-supplied inlet filter systems and are available with corresponding pre-filters.

Mike Adams, general manager of GE Energy's gas turbine inlet systems business, said, "GE is in the business of solving the world's toughest problems and our new gas turbine inlet filters not only greatly enhance our overall product offering, but also expand our expertise in designing for extremely challenging operating environments."
