Industry > Power Generation

Our Partners demonstrated leading expertise in standard and special designs for filtration in conventional and nuclear power plants. This also includes special filters that are used in the deconstruction of irradiated installations or components of installations.

The skyrocketing demand for electric power around the globe necessitates the expansion of power grids to enable flexible coverage of peak loads. Over the last few years, power generation from gas turbine power plants has become increasingly more important.  Similarly to the establishent of smaller cogeneration units or combined cycle power plants, power is generated with high efficiency. Depending on the turbine type, the plant capacities of larger gas turbine plants range from 160 to 266 MW and are likely to rise.

 

 


 

Gas turbine elements

MAHLE Industriefiltration expands its expertise in the area of intake air filtration for gas turbine power plants and is an OEM supplier of filter elements for 160 MW block-unit power stations.

Coarse and fine dust is filtered out of the air to protect the turbine from fouling. Different filtration systems are selected, depending on the ambient conditions. Pleated MAHLE round cartridges are preferred—especially in Arabian desert areas with high dust concentration. The benefits in these tough operating conditions are optimal compressed air cleaning using "pulse jets," which enables long service lives in comparison with typical systems.
