Filtration Group (Formerly MAHLE Industrial Filtration) Gas Turbine Air Intake Filter Cartridge

Filtration Group (Formerly MAHLE Industrial Filtration) expands its expertise in the area of intake air filtration for gas turbine power plants and is an OEM supplier of filter elements for 160 MW block-unit power stations. The skyrocketing demand for electric power around the globe necessitates the expansion of power grids to enable flexible coverage of peak loads. Over the last few years, power generation from gas turbine power plants has become increasingly more important.

Similarly to the established smaller cogeneration units or combined cycle power plants, power is generated with high efficiency. Depending on the turbine type, the plant capacities of larger gas turbine plants range from 160 to 266 MW and are likely to rise.

Coarse and fine dust is filtered out of the air to protect the turbine from fouling. Different filtration systems are selected, depending on the ambient conditions.
