Understanding Airborne Contaminant Risks In Offshore Oil and Gas Environments
Gas Turbine Environmental & Air Quality Challenges
Air surrounding gas turbines contains a mix of natural and man-made contaminants such as dust, salt, industrial pollutants, and hydrocarbons. These airborne particles create significant gas turbine environmental challenges that, although often invisible, can severely impact turbine performance. Without effective treatment, these contaminants degrade air quality and accelerate wear, leading to corrosion, fouling of critical components, and reduced turbine efficiency.
How Contaminants Affect Turbine Performance
The impact of airborne pollutants on gas turbines includes blade erosion, compressor fouling, and blockage of cooling passages. Contaminants such as salt and dust can cause corrosion and abrasion, resulting in more frequent repairs and unexpected downtime. These environmental risks increase operational costs and reduce the overall lifespan of the turbine if not properly managed through filtration and air quality control.
