HEPA Filter Advantages Cited in Turbomachinery Article
James Ross of AAF says HEPA filter systems are lasting 80,000 hours. He recommends single stage reverse jet filters for pre filters. Mitsubishi has used HEPA filters for many years and they are widle used on Japanese gas turbines. Steve Medvetz of Gore says the High efficiency filter can eliminate water washing.

Bulletin by Camfil outlines the definition of a HEPA filter. In order to meet industry practices and standards, every HEPA filter must be tested after all components are assembled. Camfil also tests the media upon factory arrival for conformance to specifications.

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.

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.

This paper discusses the use of HEPA filtration technologies to reduce fouling of compressor blades and consequential power loss. The compressor of a gas turbine consumes a significant amount of energy during operation; consequently, the efficiency of the compressor is very important to maintain optimum performance and has a huge impact on the machine thermal efficiency, power output and its long term component health.
