US manufacturer of air filtration and noise control systems Altair Filter Technology Inc has received an order for its Aquila gas-turbine air-intake filtration systems for use in an oilfield in Azerbaijan. The company is to supply a total of 19 systems, which will be used to protect Rolls-Royce RB211 turbines that operate in the Azeri field, which is part of the Azeri Chirag, Deepwater Gunashli development. According to Altair, Aquila is an extremely compact air intake filtration system that is designed to protect turbines operating in offshore and coastal locations. It says that such turbines are subject to the combined effects of bulk water, precipitation, airborne particulate and salt aerosol. To protect engines from these contaminants the system uses a combination of inertial separation and high efficiency filtration stages. It also removes dry particulates. This is achieved primarily through its high efficiency filters augmented, when required, by a prefilter. The level of filtration provided also can be tailored to suit the environment using a range of high efficiency filters. Onshore turbines associated with the oilfield are protected by Altair's SuperNova, a compact air intake filtration system that has been developed to protect landbased turbines operating in industrial and other onshore locations. The company has also provided filtration systems for two Alstom Tornado gas turbines, on the Chirag 1 platform in the Azeri Chirag, Deepwater Gunashli field.

Expanding Scandinavian presence HOH Water Technology A/S with subsidiaries in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland has been bought by BWT (Best Water Technology) With the acquisition of HOH, BWT has fulfilled another of its strategic aims to be represented in four Nordic countries, and therefore get a share of the large market, which HOH has already, not just in the Nordic countries, but also in export markets such as the Baltic States and Russia. On a worldwide scale BWT has subsidiaries in 24 countries. In Scandinavia, BWT is already represented by Christ Nordic in Sweden, a company which is specialises in water treatment for the pharmaceutical industry. There is no plans for the HOH Group to change its name or its logo, and it will continue to market and service the product range it had prior to the sale, both own products and agency-products from acknowledged producers. HOH already markets one of BWT’s ,ost successful products, the AQA Total, which effectively prevents lime scaling in water installations.

We understand water down to the depths of your bottom line When it comes to water applications, the secret to better productivity and bottom-line profitability isn’t always buying more technology. Often, it is getting more control over the technology you have. Take, for example, Danfoss Industrial Controls product range for irrigation pumps. They virtually eliminate water hammering so you spend less time making repairs. We offer world-class controls to meet your every need, backed by services that you value, supported by engineers who specialise in water applications and delivered by an unrivalled distribution network.
We know water applications inside and out Danfoss Industrial Controls product range for water applications: 1. Reduce energy consumption 2. Eliminate water hammer 3. Improve accurate pressure measurement 4. Lower MRO costs
Our objectives are the same as yours – to improve performance and reduce costs while running water processes smoothly.
