Turnkey Filtration in Power Generation

Filtration is a critical element of power generation systems. We work with wind turbines, nuclear power, hydroelectric plants, hydrogren plants, coal/petroleum, and natural gas. Whether enhancing the efficiency of equipment or protecting components from damage, you need contaminant removal solutions designed specifically to achieve consistently high performance.

Don’t allow your power generation engines or even a backup generator to become susceptible to contamination from dirt particles, residue or impure air.  Let PFP assist in prescribing new or upgrading the existing filters your equipment depends on to keep working consistently and at the same time avoiding costly downtime.

The PFP Solution

PFP provides various filtration products & filtration solutions to facilities that can’t afford any errors in their operations such as hospitals and transit stations.  If these sites can depend on the services of PFP then so can you!

We can reliably supply you with filter cartridges designed for purification of lubricating and hydraulic oils and EHC fluids. The scope of products is well suited for lubrication oils, hydraulic and EHC fluids.
