UAS SP Cartridge Filters

The UAS SP gas turbine cylindrical air filter cartridge provides high levels of protection for self-cleaning gas turbine filtration systems. The advanced synthetic technology uses a special blend of fibers to effectively capture high levels of sub-micron particulate delivering high performance filtration and longer life while maintaining a low operational pressure drop. Its high dust-holding capacity helps prolong filter life and significantly lowers operating costs. The gas turbine air filter replacement is designed to fit a range of new and retrofit systems in cross-flow, up-flow, and split up-flow configurations and is available in various sizes and materials in both cylindrical and conical styles. The gas turbine cylindrical air filter cartridge has been tested to, and complies with, a wide range of industry specifications including key OEM's performance specifications for gas turbine inlet filtration.

Gas Turbine Cylindrical Air Filter Cartridge Advantages

Excellent particulate removal efficiency helps reduce compressor fouling and lengthens intervals between water washes
Low initial and operational pressure drop helps increase turbine output and/or enhance fuel efficiency
Optimized when operating in wet or dry conditions, and at high or low levels of humidity and dust loading
Positive sealing arrangement eliminates unfiltered air bypass in the system

UAS SP Nano Cartridge Filters

The clearcurrent SP-Nano gas turbine cylindrical air filter cartridge delivers high filtration performance and extends filter-operating life in the most challenging environments, including desert locations. Filtration and pressure loss characteristics remain optimized whether the filter set is operating in wet or dry conditions, and at high and low levels of humidity. The gas turbine air filter filtration media is 100% synthetic, and the high media content of the cartridge increases filter life and dust-holding capabilities, and significantly lowers operating costs. The gas turbine cylindrical air filter cartridge is designed to fit a range of new and retrofit systems in cross-flow, up-flow, and split up-flow configurations and is available in various sizes and materials in both cylindrical and conical styles. The element has been tested and complies with a wide range of industry specifications including key OEM's performance specifications for gas turbine inlet filtration.

UAS PRO Cartridge Filters

Improving compressor health while meeting industry standards — it’s a unique advantage that clearcurrent PRO brings to the energy & utility sector. The clearcurrent PRO gas trubine cydrical air filter cartridge is fleet tested with compressor health improvement that shows increased output and lower heat rate with level dP.

Our multi-year study of fleet wide filter performance allowed us to determine the right criteria to positively affect turbine degradation. Incorporating elements of degradation-based maintenance, our clearcurrent gas turbine cylindrical air filter cartridge helps power plant operators meet their desired performance goals.

The clearcurrent PRO (Predictable, Reliable Output) filter delivers predictable performance while maintaining steady dP. It is constructed with PRO technology that reduces both dry and wet contaminants from reaching the turbine blades. The gas turbine cylindrical air filter cartridge is both mist and fog resistant, and since it isn’t constructed with expensive membranes, will provide balanced maintenance costs all while improving your MW output.

Gas Turbine Cylindrical Air Filter Cartridge Advantages

Compressor health improvement with PRO technology, including:

Increased MW output
Lower heat rate
Predictable and lower dP
Reduced fouling

Applications For Gas Turbine Cylindrical Air Filter Cartridge

Gas Turbine Cylindrical Air Filter Replacement Filters

UAS provides a combination of the highest-efficient, lowest-resistant, longest-lasting air filters with a wide range of filtration options for all styles of filter house systems. Air inlet filtration is a critical element to assure maximum operating efficiency of a gas turbine. Properly selecting and maintaining the filtration system can increase the performance and extend run time of the gas turbine as well as minimize unplanned maintenance associated with unexpected filter failure. Different styles of filter houses require different types of filtration. Proper filter / component selection should include consideration of environmental factors such as ambient dust concentration; humidity; intense periods of moisture such as fog, rain, and snow; and the durability required over the life of the filter.

Pulse filters

UAS conical-cylindrical air inlet filters are available in vertical or horizontal designs, to best suit your system of choice. With our broad range of media, including EPA filters, we can offer an air inlet pulse filter for every environment and every gas turbine inlet.

Air Inlet Systems

UAS static systems provide a barrier against the smallest and most corrosive particles. Modular design benefits include reduced lead-time and less engineering cost. A platform designed to provide a solution to gas turbines, diesel engines and compressors. Adaptable to any operating condition and environmental challenge.

Panel Filters

Panel filters, usually used as pre/first stage filters in static inlet systems for gas turbines, have the main purpose of removing larger particles such as pollens, paper dust, and other coarse impurities. Typical filter class: G4 / MERV 7 or 8

Bag filters

Bag or pocket filters are mainly used as pre/first stage filters in the gas turbine air inlet, ranging from M6-F9 / MERV 11 to 16 in filter class.

Compact filters

Compact or mini-pleat are high efficiency air inlet filters used for second and/or third stage filtration, depending on the gas turbine air inlet system. Typical range from M6 or MERV 11 up to E12 (EPA level), for the best gas turbine protection.

Weather protection

Gas turbine air intakes are frequently exposed to large amounts of water from heavy rain, fog and mist. The air filter system should therefore be protected by using a water and moisture eliminating first stage

Our Customers

UAS have provided gas turbine cylindrical air filter cartridge for every maker, including GE (General Electric), Siemens, Mitsubishi, Alstom, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce, Solar, and ABB, in locations all over the world.
