Contractor agrees to subrogate automobile liability resulting from performance under this Agreement by agreeing to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, and its respective employees, agents, and City Council from and against all claims, liabilities, suits, losses, damages, injuries and expenses, including all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees (“Claims”), which are attributable to any act or omission by the City under the performance of the services. The city of Vernon, its directors, commissioners, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers must be endorsed on the policy as additional insureds and under the Contractors’ policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the City’s insurance or self-insurance.
iii. General Liability with minimum limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate written on an Insurance Services Office (ISO) Comprehensive General Liability "occurrence" form or its equivalent for coverage on an occurrence basis.
Premises/Operations and Personal Injury coverage is required. The City of Vernon, its directors, commissioners, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers must be endorsed on the policy as additional insureds as respects liability arising out of the Contractor's performance of this Agreement. The additional insured coverage under the Contractor’s policy shall be primary and non-contributory and will not seek contribution from the City’s insurance or self-insurance. (1) If Contractor employs other contractors as part of the services rendered, Contractor's Protective Coverage is required. Contractor may include all subcontractors as insureds under its own policy or shall furnish separate insurance for each subcontractor, meeting the requirements set forth herein.
(2) Contractor agrees to subrogate General Liability resulting from performance under this Agreement by agreeing to defend, indemnify and hold harmless, the City, and its respective employees, agents, and City Council from and against all claims, liabilities, suits, losses, damages,
injuries and expenses, including all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees (“Claims”), which are attributable to any act or omission by the City under the performance of the services.
iv. Professional Errors and Omissions coverage in a sum of at least $2,000,000, where such risk is applicable. Applicable aggregates must be identified and claims history provided to determine amounts remaining under the aggregate. Contractor shall maintain such coverage for at least one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement. v. Contractor shall comply with the applicable sections of the California Labor Code concerning workers' compensation for injuries on the job. In addition, Contractor shall require each subcontractor to similarly maintain workers’ compensation insurance in accordance with the laws for California for all of the subcontractor’s employees. Compliance is accomplished in one of the following manners:
(1) Provide copy of permissive self-insurance certificate approved by the State of California; or
(2) Secure and maintain in force a policy of workers' compensation insurance with statutory limits and Employer's Liability Insurance with a minimal limit of $1,000,000 per accident. The policy shall be endorsed to waive all rights of subrogation against City, its directors, commissioners, officers, employees, and volunteers for losses arising from performance of this Agreement; or
(3) Provide a "waiver" form certifying that no employees subject to the Labor Code's Workers' Compensation provision will be used in performance of this Agreement.
vi. Each insurance policy included in this clause shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be cancelled except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to City. vii. Insurance shall be placed with insurers with a Best's rating of no less than A-VIII. viii. Prior to commencement of performance, Contractor shall furnish City with a certificate of insurance for each policy. Each certificate is to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificate(s) must be in a form approved by City. City may require complete, certified copies of any or all policies at any time. ix. Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a default and material breach. In such event, Contractor shall immediately notify City and cease all performance under this Agreement until further directed by the City. In the absence of satisfactory insurance coverage, City may, at its option: (a) procure insurance with collection
rights for premiums, attorney's fees and costs against Contractor by way of set-off or recoupment from sums due to Contractor, at City's option; (b) immediately terminate this Agreement and seek damages from the Agreement resulting from said breach; or (c) self-insure the risk, with all damages and costs incurred, by judgment, settlement or otherwise, including attorney's fees and costs, being collectible from Contractor, by way of set-off or recoupment from any sums due to Contractor.

ABSTRACT
A CamGT is designed for operating in severe and harsh environments but it must also resist the most extreme conditions to ensure the performance and guarantee to protect the gas turbine throughout its life. High-stress burst test was performed on a CamGT 3V 600-T10-Std filter produced in Crystal Lake, USA. Filter was loaded with dust at an airflow of 7645 m³/h to gradually reach the final pressure drop to verify filter integrity.
This test should not be mixed up with a traditional blast wave test, where the filter is exposed to a sudden pressure impact, a blast wave.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION
The filter element resisted up to a pressure drop of 5000 Pa without visible break or damage. All pleat tips were still in good condition after the test was ended.
The results of this test relate only to the test device in the condition stated herein.

PLANT UPGRADES TO THE CAMGT 3V-600 FOR A 6-YEAR LIFECYCLE & TO PREVENT ENGINE DEGRADATION COMPARISON TEST INDICATES A POTENTIAL OF $937,000 USD SAVINGS OVER A SIX-YEAR TIMEFRAME BY UPGRADING TO EPA A new combined cycle plant on Louisiana’s Gulf
Coast has been operating commercially since
2014. The plant has two GE 7F.04 gas turbines,
producing 171 MW each, and a steam turbine
that produces 218 MW, totaling 560 MW of
power.
In early 2016, a small team of fleet turbine
managers took proactive measures to prevent
compressor corrosion and fouling that had
impacted other 7FA turbines’ power output
across their fleet. Corrosion, if unchecked,
could potentially cost the organization millions
of US dollars due to engine refurbishment and
loss of revenue. Further, the team understood
how fouling could lead to power and engine
degradation. Although degradation caused by
fouling can be mitigated somewhat by offline
washes, some non-recoverable degradation will
remain.
Another initiative of the plant is to change their
major outage schedule from three to six years,
therefore requiring final filters with a six year
lifecycle. In order to select the appropriate
filters that will prevent corrosion and fouling
at this new plant, they decided to test various
filter configurations with Camfil’s on-site testing
trailer. The CamLab, a 28-foot mobile test lab,
consists of four separate ducts that can be
fitted with pre-filters and final filters in order to
monitor and analyze the performance of each
configuration‘s capability of handling a site’s
contaminants before purchasing filters.
The trailer is a tool that provides critical insight
into what filtration configuration will withstand the
harsh conditions of the surrounding environment,
prevent the need for water washing, and
eliminate corrosion-related maintenance.
THE SITE
The plant is located less than 20 miles from
the Gulf Coast, along the Mississippi River in
South Louisiana. This particular site has annual
temperatures averaging 70°F, with temperatures
between May and September often exceeding
90°F, with relative humidity over 90%1. During
summer, afternoon thunderstorms produce
heavy rainfall over short periods of time.
Situated in an industrial area, the turbines are
exposed to heavy dust concentrations of various
particulate matter such as gypsum and airborne
grain from neighboring production plants.
The combination of humidity and heavy dust load
makes this site a challenging environment.
CURRENT FILTER CONFIGURATION
The filter configuration in 2016 was a two-stage,
12” bag pre-filter, rated at an M5 efficiency and a
17” compact final filter, rated at an F92 efficiency.
Heat rate increases, caused by fouling, required
water washes for recovery. The team performed
daily online washes and two offline washes per
year; this resulted in a 2% improvement in the
heat rate each time they water washed offline.
THE TEST
The CamLab was commissioned at the site for
2200 hours (3 months) with three different,
2-stage configurations outlined in Table 1.
The table shows that the CamGT 3V-600 24”
E103 filter, while offering a better efficiency,
clearly outperformed the competitor’s 17”,
F9 filter in terms of pressure drop. The Camfil
CamGT 4V-300 12” E10 filter had a similar
pressure drop performance to the competitor
initially, even with its higher efficiency. This
highlights that filter depth is only one part of
the design - aerodynamics, media performance,
media surface area, as well as construction, are
equally important in designing a well-performing
filter.
The 3V-600 configuration performed well in
terms of pressure drop and efficiency due to its
24” deep frame (twice the depth of the 4V-300),
aerodynamic configuration, and optimized media
area. This deep frame allows for unparalleled
media area and low velocity, providing the
lowest pressure drop and longest available life.
In similar environments, the 3V-600 has lasted
over 5 years without change-out, resulting in
high engine availability.

Cut Water Washes by Half
Potential of $937,000 USD Savings / Engine
LIFE CYCLE COST (LCC) ANALYSIS
An LCC, total cost of ownership analysis, was
performed to determine the most cost efficient
set-up.
Figure 1 indicates that the lowest total cost of
ownership over a six-year timeframe is predicted
for the 3V-600 configuration. Due to the higher
E10 efficiency class, the plant would encounter
minimal fouling effects. The majority of savings,
therefore, are a result of lesser fouling leading
to higher power output, with savings up to 88%
percent. By minimizing the fouling effect in this
case, Table 2 shows that the plant could reduce
maintenance needs by requiring half as many
offline washes.
Table 2 further shows that the 3V-600
configuration requires final filter change-out
after 48,000 hours. This would allow the plant
to meet their initiative of operating continuously
for six years without shutdown for final filter
replacement.
The plant is expected to potentially save a
total of approximately 29% as compared to
the competitor configuration, or an estimated
$937,000 USD over a six-year period4.
UPGRADE
As a result of the CamLab results and LCC
analysis, Camfil was awarded with the project of
installing the CamFlo prefilters as a first stage
and CamGT filters as a final stage.
ADVANTAGES OF THE CAMGTs5
A common phenomenon in ordinary inlet air
filters is bypass and leakage, which allows salt,
water, as well as coarse and submicron particles
to pass through filters. Controlling bypass and
leakage will prevent fouling and corrosion,
wearing down of turbine components, as well as
unnecessary and expensive downtime.
Gasket
The CamGT has a one-piece, poured in place
endless gasket as compared to four-pieces.
Since there are no openings with a one-piece
gasket, it prevents any water penetration.
Glue
The CamGTs solid, airtight frame is designed to
prevent any bypass due to Camfil‘s patented new
glue technique, the double sealing design. Media
is typically glued to the filter header with 2-4 glue
steps, however, the double sealing design is a
6-step glue technique that fixes the media to the
frame, which ensures leakage prevention.
Resistant to Humidity
The CamGT not only offers large media surface
area, it also features vertical pleating and
patented interrupted hot melt separators for
optimum water handling.
Its construction allows trapped water to drain
freely from the filter during operation, thus
avoiding re-entrainment of dissolved impurities
(i.e. salt) and maintaining low pressure drop
under high humidity conditions.
