noise control solutions
The Acoustics division at AAF has a wide range of technologies with whichto support power station, oil & gas transportation plant and other industrial applications.
AAF’s work in Gas Turbine packaging has supported our development into one of theleaders in full-service noise control systems. Our flexible approach ensures we canhandle entire plant or individual components for both new and existing plants.
A turnkey solution with guaranteed results derived from the application of cutting edgenoise mitigation solutions. Our team design, manufacture and assemble all of AAF’sequipment. Technical assistance for plant feasibility studies can be sought. Our multidisciplined team of acoustic, mechanical and structural engineers combine to refinethe optimum plant solution. Application and contracts engineers benefit from AAF'sin house solution testing carried out at the AAF Product Development Centre in theUnited Kingdom. This program of testing supports our in-house acoustic modellingand mapping software.

AAF offers site surveys that extend beyond the physical condition of the machinery,providing in-depth analysis of Compressor efficiency performance and recommendingopportunities to increase gas turbine power output and lower heat rate.
In today's market every opportunity to generate extra poweror yield greater production in the most economic mannermust be explored. There are many ways to enhance theperformance of a Gas Turbine.
Our proprietary software and skilled technicians work aspartners with your operating staff to maximise the value andreturn on critical assets. Our Technical Centre within the UKcan study Compressor efficiency and Turbine outputreferenced to filter type to establish past and potentialincrease in performance.
At AAF, we stand alone in our ability to provide the latesttechnology whilst supporting our claims with analytical systemsto predict future performance. We can accurately model pastengine performance against validated benchmarks to providetechnical and commercial assessments of potential upgradessuch as HEPA filtration and inlet cooling. We can forecast whenperformance can be expected to reduce and work with you tofurther refine our technology, mitigate operational risk andensure reliable future performance.

Maintain gas turbine performance, compressor efficiency and power output.Eradicate production loss and downtime caused by offline cleaning.
HEPA filtration
more powerAAF's HEPA (EPA) filter technology ensures airborne deposits which normally foul rotor and statorblades and diminish turbine performance are removed from the incoming air. Providing filtrationefficiency of 99.5% and above at the smallest penetrating particle size AAF's specialist gas turbinefilters ensure maximum available power output through maintaining gas compressor performance.
greater availabilityAAFs technology ensures the engine remains in as new conditiontherefore minimises the need for on or offline machine cleaning.This means there's no reason to interrupt production and thatmaximum availability can be achieved.
longer lifeModern gas turbine rotating parts are complex in design and structureand have a critical profile for maximum working efficiency. AAF HEPA(EPA) technology is shown to extend the life and reliability factor ofAir Compressor components.
Within the hot gas path section our superior protection against saltingestion has proven to greatly enhance engine performance throughprotecting the Power Turbine Rotor & Stator Blades from hot gas pathcorrosion. Component life is maximised through best in classprotection of critical cooling passages.
higher efficiencyOur long-term study of gas turbine compressor efficiency and its relationship to the incomingcompressor air quality has proven that power is also produced at a much greater level ofefficiency. Thus the new higher levels of output are achieved at reduced fuel costs andassociated CO2 and NO2 emissions.
improved filtration = improved turbine per
AAF has invested thousands of hours in the research and development of our media technology in order to embracethe challenge provided by modern gas turbines and provide the levels of filtration protection required to ensure optimumperformance. AAF HEPA filtration is now a proven technology and currently provides protection to many gas turbines in both power generation and oil & gas applications.
