TECHNICAL FEATURE APPLICATION • The FGT system prepares natural gas fuel for combustion in gas compressor, gas turbines, gas engines, gas furnaces and burners, etc. • FGT system can be designed to deliver gas at any pressure, temperature and degree of purity. • There are three basic components of fuel gas conditioning: moisture removal, heating and Korina Sabang Development Engineer [email protected] BENEFIT/ADVANTAGE Filtration efficiency •High performance – specification: 0.01micron nominal with coalescing efficiency of 99.98% at 0.3 micron (um) High efficiency element system •Better equipment performance •Reduce downtime or unscheduled downtime due to maintenance •Reduce maintenance costs Integral pre-filtration •Reduce cost of additional vessels, layer valves, associated instrumentation •Simplify maintenance procedures Low pressure drop Less resistance to flow: •Reduce energy costs •More throughput High temperature materials •Increase operating temperatures •Standard element can be used within working conditions of 275°F (continuous) and up to 400°F (continuous) cleaning. Saifuddin Alias Technical Engineer [email protected] SAND LOUVER SAND LOUVER DESCRIPTION Sand Louvers provide air intake sand storm protectio nand ensure the air intake system is protected from sand particles. The units offer reliability and durability to withstand the full range ambient conditions. Double layer of sand louver vertical blade design provides low pressure drop, sand particles are trapped in the blade and discharged through the face at the bottom of the louver. This special sand louver is custom made fabrication and material construction is stainless steel. EFFICIENCY DESIGN The Sand Louvers are designed to provide effective intake sand storm protection. Sand storm is easily eliminated to protect downstream filters, ductwork and equipment. Potential air bypass is eliminated – Sand Louver mounting, combined with the housing design and insures that 100% of the air flow remains in design air path APPLICATION This custom made high efficiency sand repellent system is designed to provide intake weather protection from dust or sand storm and very suitable to use in the Middle East. The design is to meet the requirements of gas turbine, compressor and engine application where inlet air protection is critical. WOUND FILTER Nor Adilah Radzuan Product Engineer [email protected] greater retention capacity than straight surface filter media of the same dimensions and porosity. The Wound filters are manufactured using a high speed, continuous wind process which creates a superior one-piece filter with hundreds of diamond shaped tunnels that get progressively smaller from the outer diameter to the core. Finer particles are progressively trapped as fluid travels to the center of the filter allowing for a much Our Added Value…. SAMS manufacture its product which is simple, low cost, effective technology for filtering a variety of contaminants from water, chemical, oil, and other fluids. The Wound filters are among the most common type of liquid filter used throughout the world and the best choice among bio-diesel users. which become progressively smaller approaching the cartridge core. The contaminant is trapped not only on the cartridge surface, but throughout its depth. A rigid support core of either molded polypropylene, tin plated steel or stainless steel is used to stabilize the wound structure and prevent string migration. The core material is selected to be compatible with the string fiber media and the fluid being filtered. The Unique Function….. The Wound filter, named for its superior dirt trapping ability, is made from long fibers formed into a string. A unique winding process creates spaces between the strings NANOFELT FILTER BAG NANOFELT filter bags are engineered with unique nano fiber process, creating uniform material with smaller pore size that provides better surface loading of dust and prevents penetration deep into the media. In contrast, conventional filter bags are manufactured with a needling process that creates larger pores where dust can embed into the fabric, inhibiting cleaning and reducing bag life. With better surface loading, Nanofelt bags provide improved pulse cleaning and a lower pressure drop, which results in extended bag life, less maintenance time and cost, energy saving and greater filtration efficiency. Fakhrul Razi Technical Engineer [email protected] Nanofelt filter bags offer: • Greater performance • Better surface loading • Improved efficiency • Available for most application • Extensive selection to fit any collector • Energy saving • Best value Filter Bags for All OEM Styles SA manufacture and supply filter bags for practically any application and for any OEM style bag house; Donaldson, Menardi, Airlanco, Alstom. Our close relationship with filtration fabric producers means that we can even work with you to design a fabric specified to your demanding application.

SAI had so far during its journey, faces many challenges, when we expand internationally, we can expect to work with people from different races/ ethnicities, people who speak different languages and people who have different ideologies. You cannot expect what works for you in your home company will continue to work the same in an overseas company. Sometimes you will find that while you are running, others are walking and while others are running, you are walking trying to catch up. There have to be a compromise of some sort to ensure there is synergy among the staff.
