Learn how the Parker altair System 2 and Aquila System are designed to operate and the importance of using genuine altair replacement filters in your altair equipment - a smart choice from both a financial and service continuity perspective.

This short overview looks at how the Altair system two and Aquilla are designed to operate and the importance of using genuine Altair replacement filters in your Altair equipment, which is prudent from both a financial and service continuity perspective, Altair supply over 60,000 replacement filters to more than 2000 offshore gas turbines every year. However, there can sometimes be a temptation to consider using third party alternatives when looking at filters and whilst this may seem attractive in the short term, the increased risk of failure and unplanned outages increases significantlyWhen using these produced parts. The reasons why might not seem that apparent until you understand the inner workings of the Altair system to and Aquilla and the interactions of the multi-stage system. Altair high velocity system to under AQuilla uses a four-stage system to remove salt and water from the combustion Airstream and a process that has many thousands of hours of proven performance. The ask, keeping your equipment functioning at optimal efficiency for far longer.Stage one is the vein separator. This stage provides a robust mechanical barrier to the filter house entrance and alsoProvides bulk water removal of rain, sea spray, and course aerosols, thereby protecting the later filtration stages from the harsh weather conditions. You may experience on a platform or FPSOstage two is coalescing pre-filter. This cleanable filter has two functions. The first is to coalesce find salt, aerosols, those too small to be captured and removed by the first stage separator in this situation captured salt aerosol, either drains through the media, to the drainage system in the filter house floor, or is reintrained into the Airstream as large as salt water droplets, which are removed in the later stages of the filtration system.stem.The second function is to provide dust capture and pre-filtration to the higher efficiency filter in stage three of the system prolonging its life. This filter is designed to be changed online. If permitted by local guidelines,stage three is a coalescing high efficiency filter. This stage captures fine dust and other solid particles such as dry, salt, and sand. Similar to stage two, the high efficiency filter also operates as a coalescer and allows captured salt aerosols to drain or reintrained for final captureAnd removal by stage four of the system preventing compressor, fouling and blade erosion.The fourth and final stage is another vein separator similar in design to stage one, this inertial separation stage not only captures reintrained liquid, but completely removes it from the inlet by a mono metrically sealed drainage system, understanding the interaction of the four stages of filtration and the critical drainage system is fundamental to the operation of the Altair system too. And Aquilla third-party filters may not meet the demands placed upon them and may allow significant levels of salt and moisture to bypass theSystem, causing the GT to ingest significant amounts of salt.For example, hydrophobic filters used in many applications do not necessarily add value in Altair system two or Aquilla since the drain system design may become overwhelmed causing salt-water ingestion only by using all tear replacement filters.Only using Altair parts Can you be sure that your assets are protected from the corrosive elements that are part of the daily life of an offshore environmentNow upgraded filter systems utilize is either a three or four stage system water separation, extended lifePre-filter and EPA VSL options, providing tangible benefits, the pre-filter coalesces moisture and protects the final filter to ensure low pressure loss and supports extended filter life, proven glass fiber media technology offers excellent dust retention capacities, and helps to improve filter efficiency to assist with compressor protection.When working in the often remote and sometimes harsh environments, common with offshore energy supply, it is vital that the equipment you have to hand is the very best available only all tear, have the experience and expertise to keep your assets at peak performance in these environments, protecting your investment through effective maintenance.Harsh weather conditions, high levels of airborne particulate and salt ingress are just some of the challenges faced by gas turbine operators in the oil and gas industry.Often sited in remote locations such as jungles, deserts, offshore platforms and FPSOs, gas turbines used in the oil and gas industry typically encounter extremely challenging operating environments. High levels of small particulate in the form of sand, dust and shot-debris from drilling, salt aerosols in offshore and coastal locations, and harsh weather conditions all threaten the performance and health of a gas turbine. In addition, particularly in offshore locations, severe space and height limitations pose further challenges to efficient operation.Today's operations require high availability and low downtime rates from their turbines. However, in the oil and gas industry, the environment can threaten the trouble-free operation of a gas turbine. Due to the very large quantities of air that turbines require for operation, airborne contaminants can pose a significant challenge to the ongoing health of these precision pieces of rotating equipment.
