The altair® O&G LHV vCell filter provides best-in-class turbine protection against corrosives and moisture with its unique combination of hydrophobic properties and high-efficiency particulate arrestance level.

It has a filtration efficiency grade of E10 per EN1822:2009 and an extended filtration surface area that ensures low pressure loss and supports extended filter life. altair’s LHV filter sets a new standard in corrosion protection. Its salt removal performance has been significantly improved over the best products previously available.

The altair O&G LHV vCell filter is made using fully potted, pleated panels to provide a complete seal and is mounted within an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic frame. Protective grids incorporated on the downstream surface deliver robust performance, even in high under-pressure conditions that can be experienced in gas turbine applications.

Features/Benefits:

• Best-in-class turbine protection against corrosives

• Predictable and reliable performance significantly reduces compressor contamination and the need for unplanned maintenance

• Low pressure loss helps increase power output and/or improves fuel efficiency

• High dust-holding capacity helps extend filter life and reduce costs

• Easy to install and change out to reduce downtime 

• Easily disposable by incineration

Applications:

• Water-resistant filter specifically designed for onshore oil and gas applications

• Available in industry-standard sizes, it is equally suitable for both GE- and non-GE-supplied inlet filter systems
