GE Gas turbine replaces diesel engines at frac sites
There are environmental and cost advantages of using a gas turbine rather than diesel engines to provide the power at a hydraulic fracking site. The foot print is greatly reduced. A comparison is made of a 15 MW site with 14 diesel trucks vs 1 GE TM2500 gas turbine.

Hydrophobic media provides water removal and prefiltration
Vokes Macrogen GT Duo employs a hydrophobic media that provides effective water removal while in a study of 2 x 250 gas turbines in 2012 also delivered particle filtration to G4 or M5 efficiencies. This means that separate coalescer and prefiltration stages are unnecessary and that the redundant filter phase can be removed. The F9 final filters downstream from the Macrogen GT Duo system ran for a greater number ofhours and had a slightly lower pressure drop (105 against 110 Pascal) over the trial period. This result is due to the fact that the Macrogen has not only reduced the pressure drop but, at the same time, has increased the efficiency of prefiltration (from G4 to M5) better protecting the final filter.

More efficient filters are justified says Carlos Conti of Vokes
Moving from two to three stages has significantly increased system pressure drop but simultaneously reduced the quantity of dust reaching the turbine by approximately 98%, lowering the chance of engine damage – fouling, corrosion and erosion. To quantify this additional pressure drop, it is agreed within the power generation industry that an increase in pressure drop of 50 Pa causes a fall in efficiency of 0.1%. Quantifying the benefit is a balance between reduced fouling and increased pressure drop. The increased pressure drop can be estimated to restrict performance by approximately 0.4%, while cutting fouling provides a 1.2% improvement in output (empirical average). Therefore…

HEPA Air Filtration Technology Keeps Compressor Blades Clean
Combustion turbine operators generally experience turbine fouling from airborne particles passing through existing inlet air filters. Fouling can be caused by the particle capture limitations of conventional F-class (EN779:1998) or MERV-class (ASHRAE 52.2) filters. The consequence is reduced performance of the turbine operation.

Nanofiber Media Performance in Application to Motor Vehicle Air Filtration
The function of air filtration systems in motor vehicles is to improve air quality and cleanliness in car interior, control the respirable particle concentration in the operator’s cabin, and reduce the dust concentration in the engine intake air to an acceptable level. In these applications, limited space is available for the air filtration systems. Therefore, filters are designed in smaller packages, resulting in higher aerosol velocities through the filters. Such high aerosol velocities may cause dust reentrainment leading to an increase in the amount of dust penetrating the filter. Moreover, motor vehicle environments are extremely varied and these environmental and operational conditions influence filter performance.

Recent Development in Heavy Duty Engine Air Filtration and the Role of Nanofiber Filter Media
The development of an engine air filter is based on filter performance requirements, vehicle’s operational environment, available space, filter media properties, and production technology. The design process includes analyses of theoretical and empirical models describing filter media performance and aerosol flow in filter housings and through filter elements. Filter media are carefully selected based upon these models and simplified laboratory tests. The filter element design is evaluated in great detail through a series of laboratory and field experiments.

HEPA an Alternative to Compressor Washing
About 10 manufacturers are actively pursuing GT owner/operators for their replacement filter business. But only W L Gore & Associates Inc, Elkton, Md, seems focused on HEPA filters at present. Perhaps the others believe the cost hurdle is too difficult to overcome: Turbine air filters often are considered a commodity with price the deciding factor in the selection process. Gore says its filter media offers a significantly lower pressure drop and longer effective lifetime than competitors’ products.
