Turbine Inlet Air Filter

Introduction

Air filters are used to prevent damage to power plant equipment through dust particles, contaminants and other harmful particles in the air. The main goal is the maximum absorption of dust particles from the air. Nanofibers with lower thickness and higher specific surface area than that of conventional fibers have many applications in filtration and electrospinning is the most efficient process for production of continuous fibers from synthetic or natural polymers. Electrospinning is used to improve the performance and efficiency of the filter. This technology while increases the efficiency of dust absorption, avoid high pressure drop. Fibers produced by electrospinning have a diameter of less than 100 nm and cover the surface of the filter paper uniformly. 

Application

• Mainly for filtration of turbine inlet air

Advantage of Using Nanotechnology

Nanofibers because of having high surface area, high length to width ratio, and low density are able to eliminate the large amounts of particles during the filtration process; this performance leads to an increase in filtration efficiency.
