Advanced Filtration Concepts of Los Angeles Introduces to the Gas Turbine Industry the Highest Performing Inlet Filtration Media Available.
Viledon, a global leader in non-woven synthetic media, combined with the engineering efforts of Advanced Filtration Concepts (AFC) in Los Angeles, has achieved efficiency values of 93%+ with their standard filtration products for Gas Turbine applications.
(PRWEB) January 10, 2005 -- Viledon, a global leader in non-woven synthetic media, combined with the engineering efforts of Advanced Filtration Concepts (AFC) in Los Angeles, has achieved efficiency values of 93%+ with their standard filtration products. Standard OEM filtration systems have barely achieved 80% but at significantly higher back pressures, which directly result in reduced power output.
Non-woven synthetic medias, relatively new to the US market, have been used with tremendous success in Europe for decades. The responses from end users in US applications have resulted in paybacks (return-of-investments) measured in a matter of months as opposed to the industry accepted standard of 1-2 yrs for performance improvement projects.
The non-woven medias are converted into configurations and styles that are easily installed with no capital modifications and at labor costs that are much less than existing.
Efficiency values, i.e., measured value of clean air downstream of the filter, is only one of the important criteria for Gas Turbine filters. Initial and average resistances as much as 75% lower than standard OEM medias have been measure in fiels installations. This reduction in resistance has a direct relation to increased power output and in many cases, reduced fuel consumption. With natural gas prices going skyward, any way to reduce 'heat rate' is noted as a success.
Viledon, a division of the Freudenberg, is a leading developer of advanced filtration medias used in applications from gas turbines, hospitals, pharmaceuticals and semiconductor manufacturing. Advanced Filtration Concepts, Inc., is the Western US distribution company Viledon has selected for many of these key industries. AFC's principle is John Fintland, and they are based in Los Angeles, California. AFC's knowledge base is extensive.
