Protect your equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today’s power generation industry cannot afford to stop the continuity of its service due to the growing demand for electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power generation systems, whether power plants, thermal power stations or renewable energy facilities, often use engines, turbines or other sophisticated mechanical equipment. This equipment is expensive and requires proper maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air filtration prevents solid particles and contaminants from entering the systems, which can cause premature wear, corrosion and damage to components. By filtering the air, the life of the equipment is extended and maintenance and repair costs are reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Diesel Engines<\/span><\/p>\n

Diesel engines need protection from various aspects such as extreme temperatures or pollutants during the combustion process. The surrounding environment is also exposed to gases and must also be protected by proper filtration.<\/p>\n

Internal combustion engines and all their components such as rings or pistons can become worn due to dust particles in the surrounding environment. This leads to costly maintenance repairs, which can be eliminated with the right filtration solutions. In addition, these particles also decrease process efficiency.<\/p>\n

Another problem that can result from not having the right filtration system is the risk of overloading motors due to the extreme temperatures they are subjected to, among other things.<\/p>\n

Our air inlet filtration solutions protect you from any risk of overloading, prolong the life of your engine, reduce CO2 emissions and maintain its original performance.<\/p>\n

Gas turbines and engines<\/span><\/p>\n

Gas turbines are electricity generators designed to operate in any area or region of the world, and even in extreme climatic conditions. Turbines must work properly in areas with polar cold, tropical areas, deserts, and even at high altitudes. Therefore, the filtration system used must match the conditions for optimal overall protection.<\/p>\n

How does gas turbine filtration work?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Filtration in gas turbines is essential to avoid corrosion, engine wear, high load losses… At Venfilter, we offer you HEPA and molecular filtration solutions that will guarantee the good performance of your installations.<\/p>\n

The air intake system to the compressor has the elements to ensure that the air coming from the environment enters the turbine in the most suitable conditions of cleanliness and with little turbulence. To do this, they have filters that are responsible for removing dirt that can drag the air and blade systems so that the air flow is as laminar as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Common pollutants in gas turbines<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The main factors that can make air the worst ally are, among other things, contaminants or particles of various sizes that it may contain. Damage to gas turbines can be divided into three main types:<\/p>\n

– Mechanical damage
\n– Chemical damage
\n– Thermal damage<\/p>\n

In applications such as offshore platforms, refineries… Turbines have to deal with pollutants such as salt that can create corrosion, heavy hydrocarbons or gases.<\/p>\n

The importance of filtration in gas turbines<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to power generation, costs must be as cost efficient as possible to cope with renewable energies in order to maintain profitability.<\/p>\n

Air filtration is key to the role of energy efficiency. With our Venfilter Energy solutions adapted to the sector, you will protect your gas turbines by keeping the engines in perfect condition and prolonging their service life.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Nuclear Power Plants<\/span><\/p>\n

In all industries, filtration plays a fundamental role. But in the nuclear power industry in particular, it plays an even more important role because of all the risks involved. In fact, HEPA filtration systems were invented in the 1940s as part of a programme to remove radioactive particles. Air filtration is to be considered as a part of the safety plan of the whole nuclear power plant in these cases.<\/p>\n

However, in this industry, the main focus is on achieving maximum levels of airtightness. The risk of contamination, both by aerosols and radiation, in nuclear power plants always exists.<\/p>\n
