Energy & Utilities
Air filtration plays a significant role in operational efficiency and safety within power plants, gas supply, biogas production, and wind energy. To meet the need for stable operation and minimal maintenance, the filtration solution should be tailored to the local conditions, equipment, and processes.
Cogeneration and energy
Air filtration is crucial for operational efficiency and safety. This applies to power plants, gas supply, biogas production, and wind energy.
The filters and ventilation systems used must be adapted to local weather conditions, high or low temperatures, and the presence of water, salt, and/or other contaminants. They must effectively protect electrical equipment and turbomachinery to prevent damage and disruptions to operations.
At Simas Filters, we have a strong collaboration with cogeneration and district heating plants, energy companies, and the wind industry, and we can offer a comprehensive range of filters.
Diesel and gas engines
Filters for diesel and gas engines can remove contaminating particles and handle high temperatures during the combustion process. This protects the engines from overload, ensuring optimal performance. The filters can also protect the environment from the hot and harmful exhaust gases.

Gas supply & turbines
At Simas Filters, you can also find filters for your turbomachinery—pumps, turbines, and compressors. We provide solutions based on your specific needs and local conditions, whether it’s from the ground up when establishing new ventilation systems or for regular filter replacements.
Gas turbines are sensitive yet essential and efficient machines used in various environments. Filtration solutions must protect the gas turbine to ensure it continues generating electricity for different equipment and processes. Gas turbines are often exposed to numerous particles that can cause corrosion and contaminate the air intake, leading to reduced performance or unexpected shutdowns.
We can help you find an effective air filtration solution that keeps the air clean and ensures optimal airflow through the turbine. Learn more about our compact filters and filter cartridges for use in gas supply and turbines.
Wind power
In wind turbines, air filters help protect the internal base, including electrical components and other essential equipment. Wind turbines are exposed to dust, pollen, moisture, and other contaminants that can strain the equipment and, in the worst case, lead to malfunctions or power outages.
Offshore wind turbines operate under particularly harsh conditions due to chloride and salt from seawater, which can cause corrosion and wear on the equipment. These challenging environments require filters that are both durable and highly efficient.
At Simas Filters, we have developed air filtration solutions specifically designed for the conditions in wind turbines. With extensive experience supplying filters to OEMs, we can also provide the necessary documentation as required.
Waste management & recycling
Clean air is important for both employees and safety in waste management. At recycling sites and facilities, there are many different materials and sources of odors, dust, and harmful gases. Air filtration helps reduce risks and ensures compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
Waste sorting processes in recycling plants with multiple waste types often generate odors from harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and thiols. The waste also contains many solid materials, some in the form of dust and powder, such as metal, which in the worst case can explode and lead to fires.
Organic waste, involved in biogas or compost and fertilizer production, releases various gases during the decomposition process, which can also cause odor issues. Biogas and its end product, methane, can also be contaminated with substances like ammonia, siloxanes, and hydrogen sulfide, which can harm humans and cause corrosion and wear on equipment.
Air filtration solutions with activated carbon are a recognized method for minimizing odor emissions and removing unwanted gases. They can be used in both exhaust systems from production and in ventilation systems for used machinery. At Simas Filters, you will find both replacement filters and complete filter solutions, including pre-filters, fine filters, high-efficiency filters, and activated carbon filters, among others.
Water supply and wastewater
Wastewater treatment is typically associated with strong odor issues, which can irritate both employees and the surrounding environment. The smell comes from a complex mix of gases, which can be very problematic. It is crucial to protect both employees, the facility’s equipment, and the environment around the treatment plant.
The foul-smelling and corrosive gases from wastewater include hydrogen sulfide (H2S, which smells like rotten eggs), thiols, ammonia (NH3), organic sulfur, and organic nitrogen gases. In modern treatment plants with underground enclosed spaces, elevated levels of methane can also occur. Methane is odorless but explosive, making ventilation essential to keep methane concentrations low and maintain a safe environment.
At Simas Filters, we have experience with air filtration solutions for treatment plants. Activated carbon filter systems are a proven solution for reducing odors and trapping the highly problematic gases. We also offer replacement filters for your ventilation system, including pocket filters/envelope filters, panel filters, compact filters, and filter mats.
