INLET AIR FILTER SYSTEM INSPECTION SERVICES

Gulf Coast offers annual maintenance contracts providing quarterly inspections and testing. The inspection process normally takes one day, after which you'll receive a full report and recommendations. This helps keep the filter system running at optimal performance and at the original manufacturer's specifications.

Filter inspection process: Gulf Coast visually inspects for proper installation, filter cleanliness, rusty frames, leak paths, damage, and proper yolk and clip assembly. We also examine the clean side of the inlet house to ensure contaminants do not flow downstream.

Our technicians can remove a dirty filter from your inlet house and have it tested to determine remaining life. Air flow, dirt load, DP, and media degradation test reports can inform the client when it is time to replace their filters.

FILTER / PRE-FILTER INSTALLATION SERVICES

Gulf Coast formulates a change-out plan from your specified plant goals and timeframe. Our technicians are then able to systematically install filters when best needed. We double check for perfect alignment, proper tightness, and a faultless sealing on the tube sheet to avoid filter bypass. This process ensures turbines will not be subject to premature fowling of your turbine's rotor.
