SandSep
Sand removal & filter protection
SandSep is a protection of GAS TURBINE and ENGINE ROOM air intakes against the undesired ingress of flying sand in desert climates or in a marine environment that is exposed to sand storms.
Airborne sand particles plug coarse filters within minutes, causing physical damage to the filters or causing a complete exchange. Under harsh conditions the amount of sand often exceeds 100 kg/m²h. Depending on the prevailing weather conditions, dust storms can be present for only a couple of days per month.
