Technical Article Abstract In order to achieve combustion air cleanliness as specified by the machine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), gas turbines have traditionally employed barrier filters which provide an efficiency level of F8 / F9 to European test standard EN 779 (or MERV15 / 16 to the American Ashrae 52.1 test standard).

It is well established that conventional F8 / F9 filters achieve OEM targets for acceptable component life and power output at a predicted heat rate and efficiency.

The drive by gas turbine OEM’s for greater power and improved efficiency from machinery has resulted in demanding performance criteria. Increased output is coupled with higher firing temperatures and the need for inter cooling of high pressure nozzles and other hot components. As a result, air quality has become more influential in machine availability and life time performance.
