Parker has specialized in the design and manufacture of advanced air filtration and silencing systems for gas turbines for over fifty years. When it comes to protecting the engines in the naval, cruise and fast ferry industries, the top engine suppliers turn to altair® for their filtration system needs. For new ships and retrofit applications, our altair® Neptune and altair® Vega systems are proven, ultra compact demister solutions designed to remove bulk water and salt aerosol from gas turbine and diesel intakes.

altair® Panel Filters

Versatile and effective, altair's range of panels are designed to operate in the harshest conditions. Panels are generally used as part of a 2- or 3-stage system. They offer good filtration efficiency with low pressure loss, even at high velocity. They also reduce salt ingress to well below engine manufacturers' recommended limits. Unlike other panels, several of altair's panels can be cleaned to remove salt and hydrocarbon contamination in environments where this occurs. Other altair panels can be easily removed and replaced to minimize system downtime.

altair® Systems

As one of the world's leading suppliers of air inlet filtration systems for marine gas turbines, Parker is at the forefront of engine salt protection technology. We work closely with our customers to gain an intimate understanding of their operating environments and conduct significant levels of research into the marine environment to develop and offer a range of world-class products expressly designed to protect turbines operating in marine locations.

Gas Turbine Air Intake Filtration Systems for Naval Applications

For gas turbine (GT) propelled surface vessels and marine warships, a reliable propulsion system is always critical to the vessel’s function. 

Gas turbines ingest large amounts of ambient air as part of their combustion process. If left untreated it will retain airborne contaminants; all of which will do serious damage through erosion, corrosion and fouling of the highly-optimized GT internals. Harsh weather conditions, high levels of small airborne particulate in the form of sand, dust, airborne hydrocarbons and salt aerosols, and the concentration seasonality of these contaminants are just some of the challenges faced by a gas turbine air intake filtration system operating at sea.

Read the whitepaper to discover more about the challenges faced and key considerations when selecting the Gas Turbine air intake filtration system.
