Company offers a range of solutions in this market

The quality of air entering the turbine is a significant factor in the performance and lifetime of the gas turbine. Ahlstrom-Munksjö offers a complete range of filtration media developed for gas turbine applications to meet specific market needs in various operational environments.

Ahlstrom-Munksjö Glass GT portfolio is based on its microfiber technology platform, mixing glass, synthetic fibers and a specific surface treatment. With a customizable structure, it combines high filtration efficiency with low pressure drop, plus extended dust holding capacity for longer service intervals.

The Ahlstrom-Munksjö CellTech GT portfolio consists of a blend of cellulose/synthetic media and is produced on its global filtration production platforms. With a self-supported structure, Ahlstrom-Munksjö CellTech GT combines leading performance in pleatability, with excellent durability and effective filtration of coarse particles.

Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s Nano GT portfolio is based on its market reference CellTech filtration media, but coated with electrospun nanofibers on the upstream side. With a self-supported structure, it combines leading performance in pleatability, with optimal mechanical filtration at low pressure drop and excellent self-cleaning behavior, even with fine pollution.

Meanwhile, its FineFiber GT portfolio is based on Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s CellTech filtration media, but laminated with proprietary fine fibers on the upstream side. With a self-supported structure, it combines leading performance in pleatability, with optimal mechanical filtration and excellent self-cleaning behavior, delivering longer lifetime. FineFiber GT is the alternative choice when more traditional media are facing lifetime issues due to challenging environmental conditions.

Finally, Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s Trinitex GT portfolio is based on its proprietary and patented three-layer wetlaid technology platform, enhanced with a specific surface treatment. With a unique full synthetic structure, it combines very low pressure drops with high hydrophobicity and excellent mechanical resistance.
