Requirements and Challenges

TEC THY Turkish Engine Center carries out the maintenance and service work in its Istanbul plant for the engines, which are used on THY -Turkish Airlines passenger and cargo planes. The maintenance flow is composed of many different processes, depending on the requirements.

In one of these maintenance processes, there is a kind of cleaning application, where some smelling chemicals have to be used. These chemicals create odor problem that makes the operators uncomfortable in the workshop. TEC THY was looking for a solution for this problem.

Solution

  • First, VANTERM investigated the type of the odor and smelling source, in order to choose the correct filter unit with correct filter media inside. It was one of the priorities for TEC THY to find a mobile filter unit, to meet this demand, because the filter unit has to be moved from point to point inside the workshop.
  • As a result, VANTERM recommended and installed M-1000 filter unit with 3m. long-extraction arm. After a period of tests at site, all the operators saw that the odor problem has disappeared. Now, VANTERM M-1000 filter unit serves TEC THY operators to supply them fresh air and healthy work environment.
