7 service agreements A customized service which combines the complete AAF service portfolio; let us worry so you don't have to. Gas turbine air intake, exhaust, ventilation and acoustic systems are vital components which when maintained operate to protect gas turbines and maximize availability. New equipment can quickly deteriorate due to the difficult environments it is asked to operate in, Seal leaks, corrosion, failing fans and valves, heat induced exhaust damage gradually accrue eroding the performance of the Gas Turbine and increasing risk of an unplanned shutdown. Starting with understanding your past and current plant performance, as well as ambitions for improvement AAF take ownership of the gas turbine auxiliaries to guarantee a dependable air quality hour after hour supported by ancillary equipment in peak condition posing no risk to the reliable availability of your Gas Turbine. Working with AAF ensures the following services provide visibility of your equipment health and performance at all times. Full inspection and maintenance of GT ancillaries Plant acoustic management Air Quality Guarantee Gas Turbine efficiency reporting Inventory management (filter and spares) Installation supervision and commissioning specialists Equipment life assessments Health and Safety risk assessed On and offshore equipment dimensional assessments Materials and design analysis Repair/troubleshooting In situ or factory repair to OEM standards Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) Flexible service ensures equipment performs to its full capability. strength in depth Better Air is Our Business

9 filtration specialists As an Industry Leader AAF aspire to continuously re-set the performance benchmark. Our range of filter products are as diverse as the challenges presented to them. Gas Turbine and Diesel machinery are located in the most arduous environments spanning arctic, desert, marine, industrial, process and agricultural. For more than 75 years AAF continue to listen to our customers needs; this has presented the opportunity for AAF to develop sector leading products in two of the most difficult arenas of marine and desert. All of our range is certified to international and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) standards ensuring your peace of mind when protecting critical assets. Our investment in Field Simulation Equipment (FSE) ensures we partner with you to model your existing and future operations in the laboratory and at site to fine tune and improve your engines performance year after year. Our LTSA program provides many advantages including: Filter Management Program Quarterly GT Efficiency for your whole fleet Equipment Health Check Removal, Fit, Commission and Disposal service clean air, a vital life quality

11 gas turbine performance analysis No requirement to interrupt production to on or offline machine wash, immeasurable reduction in compressor efficiency and power output what if this could be predicted, proven and implemented? In today's market every opportunity to generate extra power or yield greater production in the most economic manner must be explored. There are many ways to enhance the performance of a Gas Turbine. Our proprietary software and skilled technicians work as partners with your operating staff to maximise the value and return on critical assets. Our Technical Centre within the UK can study Compressor efficiency and Turbine output referenced to filter type to establish past and potential increase in performance. AAF accurately model past engine performance against validated benchmarks to provide technical and commercial assessment of potential upgrades. Not a service you might expect from AAF, we stand alone in our ability to cohesively provide the latest technology whilst supporting our claims with analytical systems to predict future performance. We can forecast when performance can be expected to reduce and work closely with you to refine our technology, mitigate operational risk and ensure reliable high performance. Optimized filter selection provides more power at lower heat rates and maintains compressors in as-new condition. Improve output and efficiency at the same time as reducing compressor downtime and repair costs. more power, greater efficiency Better Air is Our Business

13 strategic spares Ensure peace of mind by investing in genuine parts guaranteeing reliability. AAF appreciate that failure of a low value component can contribute to an unplanned shutdown incurring severe loss of revenue. Our entire range is certified to International and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) standards. AAF incorporates the most advanced materials and guarantees superb quality across the whole range of spare parts. Our application-specific solutions, extensive field and laboratory testing, gives us the experience and understanding to help you select the most suitable product for your environment. Replacement elements for AAF and non AAF static filter elements Replacement elements for AAF and non AAF pulse filter elements Filter element retention hardware and frames Evaporative cooler media and accessories Pneumatic valves, switches and couplings Electrical control panels, instrumentation and solenoids Flexible connections for intake and exhaust systems Enclosure damper and fan units The AAF range of high quality spares will cover your requirements for maintenance and overhaul of the filtration system and its associated equipment. We carry a multitude of spares for all your needs. whatever you need

15 upgrade & modifications Operating environments and performance expectations are rarely fixed for the working life of a Plant, indeed original equipment is often found lacking when actual site conditions are realised. To respond to this AAF's technical centre has engineered solution driven modification, upgrade and conversion packages which can be applied to Gas Turbine and Diesel Engine equipment. Our engineering division aim to utilise your existing plant through exploiting our wide range of solutions. However, we understand many operators have equipment which has either come to the end of its useful life and is unsafe to operate or could be upgraded to deliver more reliable, improved revenue streams from the asset. Delivering output and availability above your expectations, performance and financial benefits include Proven output gains Increased machine reliability Proven extension to equipment life Extended intervals between maintenance and shutdowns Filter retrofit of two Solar Gas Turbines: Offshore, North Sea, United Kingdom a world class service Better Air is Our Business

17 equipment maintenance & repair Being close to our customers in all key regions is fundamental to our strategy. To guarantee the reliable performance of your machinery risking failure of ancillary equipment is not an option.
