Protecting Gas Turbines from Contaminants with Advanced Filtration Technology
Gas turbines operate in harsh environments where airborne moisture, fine particulates, and corrosive aerosols threaten efficiency and reliability. Without proper turbine filtration and mist elimination, these contaminants can cause rapid fouling, corrosion, and component wear.
Kimre™ Clean Air Technology provides engineered mist eliminators and filtration media designed to protect turbine air intake systems and downstream components. These proven solutions help maintain turbine performance, reduce maintenance costs, and extend equipment life.
Understanding the Turbine Filtration Challenge
Airborne contaminants entering a turbine inlet often include organic fibers, dust, moisture-laden aerosols, and microscopic particulates. Over time, these can accumulate on turbine blades and cooling passages, leading to:
- Compressor fouling and reduced turbine efficiency
- Corrosion and erosion of critical components
- Diminished combustion performance due to poor air quality
- Increased maintenance downtime and operating costs
Traditional filters may struggle to maintain the balance between high-efficiency capture and low-pressure drop, particularly in demanding or high-humidity environments.
Kimre Engineered Filtration Media and Mist Eliminators
Kimre’s proprietary turbine filtration media feature interlaced thermoplastic fibers with a high void fraction for optimal droplet coalescence and fine particulate removal. When integrated into turbine inlet filtration systems, these advanced materials act as high-efficiency prefilters or mist eliminators, ensuring cleaner air reaches vital turbine components.
Key benefits of Kimre turbine mist eliminators and filtration media:
- High-efficiency particulate capture: Removes submicron particles and organic aerosols with minimal pressure drop.
- Superior mist elimination: Effectively coalesces and drains liquid droplets before they enter the turbine system.
- Hydrophobic performance: Maintains efficiency under high-moisture or humid conditions.
- Extended service life: Resistant to corrosion, chemical degradation, and biological growth.
- Modular adaptability: Easily retrofitted into existing turbine air intake housings or customized for specific installations.
Sustaining Turbine Performance and Reliability
By preventing fouling and corrosion at the source, Kimre turbine mist eliminators and filtration systems extend maintenance intervals and improve long-term operational stability. Real-world data demonstrate reduced pressure drop across filters, consistent turbine output, and lower lifecycle operating costs.
Implementing Kimre filtration media ensures more than just clean air—it provides sustained turbine efficiency, environmental resilience, and measurable ROI.
