Containerized mobile gas turbine filter test facility

A kit of plural modular components for testing filter elements, the kit including:

• a first modular component for testing filter elements disposed with an interior of the first modular component, the first modular component defining a fluid flow inlet allowing fluid communication between the interior and an exterior of the first modular component, wherein the fluid flow is filtered by the filter elements;
• and
• a second modular component to support the first modular component in a vertically stacked orientation to position the first modular component at an elevated position and/or a side-by-side orientation and to be in fluid communication with the first modular component, the second modular component including fluid flow drawing means for drawing fluid flow through the filter elements of the first modular component;
• wherein each of the first modular component and second modular component has an external structure of a modular International Organization for Standardization (ISO) shipping container which provides a rectangular cuboid enclosure.

A method of using International Organization for Standardization (ISO) modular components for testing filter elements, the method including the steps of:

• providing a first modular component including a self-contained rectangular cuboid enclosure having the outside dimension of a standard, transportable ISO shipping container, the first modular component having a fluid flow inlet into the container for allowing fluid flow to enter and filter elements located within the first modular component for removing impurities from the fluid flow;
• providing a separately transportable second modular component including a self-contained rectangular cuboid enclosure having the outside dimension of a standard, transportable ISO shipping container, each of the first modular component and the second modular component including fluid flow openings;
• aligning and coupling the fluid flow openings of the first and second modular components;
• drawing fluid flow from an exterior to an interior of the first modular component and filtering the fluid flow by the filter elements in the first modular component, wherein filtered fluid flow is drawn into the second modular component.
