FAF Products
V-bank filter for turbomachinery and gas turbine air intake systems
I.Product introduction
FAFGT is a compact, vertically pleated high-efficiency EPA filter used in turbomachinery and gas turbine air intake systems where low operational pressure drop and reliability are important.
The construction of FAFGT feature vertical pleats with hot-melt separators for drainage. The hydrophobic filter media packs are bonded to the inner surface of a robust plastic frame that features double sealing to eliminate bypass. A reinforced frame with a solid header ensures 100% leak-free performance. The vertical pleats and open separators allow trapped water to drain freely from the filter during operation, thus avoiding re-entrainment of dissolved impurities and maintaining low pressure drop under wet and high humidity conditions.
Each filter grade is individually optimized for lowest pressure drop and maximum life. A polyurethane gasket is permanently fixed to the filter frame, limiting the risk of filter leakage during installation.
The FAFGT filters eliminate bypass air, extend turbine life, prevent fouling and corrosion, reduce maintenance costs and reduce gas turbine CO2 emissions per MWh when using EPA filters. They are suitable for all installations where safety and reliability are important, including corrosive and wet/high humidity conditions.
Filter class: F7 - H13
FAFGT filters are tested for efficiency in accordance with the latest standard for air filters including EN 779:2012, ASHRAE 52.2:2017, ISO 16890:2016 and EN1822:2019.

IV.Product applications
1. Gas Turbine Inlet Air Filtration
Protects compressor blades from dust, sand, salt, and airborne particulates.
Prevents fouling & erosion, maintaining turbine efficiency and lifespan.
Critical for power plants, offshore platforms, and aeroderivative turbines.
2. Industrial Turbomachinery
Compressor stations (oil & gas pipelines) – Filters abrasive particles in desert/coastal environments.
Aero engines (ground testing) – Simulates clean airflow during performance validation.
3. Harsh Environment Solutions
Desert climates – Multi-stage filtration (V-bank + coalescer) for sandstorms.
Marine/offshore – Corrosion-resistant SS316 frames with hydrophobic media.
Arctic conditions – Heated housings prevent ice buildup on filter media.
4. Energy Efficiency Optimization
Low ΔP design (<150 Pa @2m/s) reduces parasitic power loss.
Extended service intervals – High dust-holding capacity vs. panel filters.
