The Gas Turbine Inlet Air Quality Challenge
Gas turbines ingest a large amount of ambient air during operation. Because of this, the quality of the air entering the turbine is a significant factor in the performance and life of the gas turbine. A filtration system is used to control the quality of the air by removing harmful contaminants that are present. The selection of the filtration system can be a daunting task, because there are many factors to consider.
When the quality of the air entering the gas turbine is not well controlled, there are several consequences which can occur. Some of the most common degradation mechanisms include erosion, fouling, corrosion and the strain on the system.
