Gas turbines used in the onshore oil and gas industry require protection from contaminants within the inlet flow. Particles allowed to pass into the turbine can cause damage to turbine parts, reduce efficiency and even cause catastrophic failures. The challenge for operators is to find an optimum filtration solution that will handle the site conditions, which vary from installation to installation. If selection is solely based on data from tests carried out in a laboratory setting, then the filter will not necessarily perform the same way when installed in the real world. Significant gains in turbine availability and efficiency can be achieved through the correct use of improved-efficiency
