Oil mist separators for the power industry
Along with oil mist separators for steam and gas turbines, FRANKE-Filter supplies customised solutions for hydro turbines. The company portfolio also includes filtration solutions for gas and diesel motors, turbo-compressors, generators, engines, and gearboxes, as well as demisters for welding fumes.
Oil mist eliminators for hydropower plants
Individually adjusting the vacuums at each bearing allows oil mist to be locally extracted from hydro turbines. FRANKE-Filter’s oil mist separators supply filtration at up to four bearings, including turbine, guide bearing and generator.
The system developed by FRANKE-Filter for multiple simultaneous extractions suits the limited available space of many hydropower plants and minimises investment costs.
FRANKE-Filter supplies oil mist separators tailored to local conditions for hydro turbines from all kinds of hydro power plants: Francis turbines, Pelton turbines, Kaplan turbines.
