Offshore Gas Turbine Filtration Solutions: Overcoming Environmental Challenges

Can your gas turbines survive the toughest test—offshore? The marine environment is relentless, with salt, moisture, and fine particulates threatening turbine performance and uptime every day. Only advanced offshore gas turbine filtration stands between your vital equipment and costly downtime - discover how the right solution changes everything.

Understanding Offshore Contamination Risks

In coastal and offshore environments, the air drawn into gas turbines is heavily contaminated with harmful particles and moisture:

  • Sea salt appears as both dry particles and aerosols, carried by winds and sea spray, often in high concentrations.

  • Mist, fog, and elevated humidity increase free moisture in intake air, challenging filtration systems.

  • Industrial dust and man-made pollutants further reduce compressor efficiency and damage components.

Standard low-efficiency filters, do little to stop corrosive salt and moisture. This results in compressor fouling, hot gas corrosion – especially when using sour fuels – and frequent water washing cycles that reduce engine availability and shorten turbine life.

N-hance® Offshore GT Filter: Advanced Protection

AAF International’s N-hance® Offshore GT Filter upgrade offers:

  • EPA E12 filtration capturing 99.95% of sub-micron particles and aerosols.

  • Unique interlocking design providing a leak-free air and water barrier.

  • Efficient drainage suited for harsh offshore moisture conditions.

  • Simple retrofit into existing filter housings without downtime.

This technology significantly reduces fouling and corrosion, minimizes cleaning frequency, and improves turbine uptime, fuel efficiency, and lifespan.

Business Benefits of Upgrading

Upgrading your offshore filtration system yields:

  • Enhanced turbine reliability and availability.

  • Reduced maintenance costs and downtime.

  • Prolonged engine life and fewer unplanned shutdowns.

  • Improved emissions control and operational efficiency.
