The present disclosure relates to systems and methods that use a hydrophobic medium to remove salt and moisture from the intake air of a gas turbine system. The disclosure also relates to systems and methods that use a two stage filtering process to remove particulate material, salt and moisture from the intake air of a gas turbine system. Particulate material is filtered from the intake air at a first stage air cleaner. Subsequently, salt and moisture are removed from the intake air at a second stage salt barrier located downstream from the first stage air cleaner. In certain embodiments, the second stage salt barrier uses a hydrophobic medium to remove salt and moisture from the intake air.

1. A method for cleaning intake air of a gas turbine, the method comprising the steps of:removing particulate material from the intake air at a first stage air cleaner, the first stage air cleaner having a filtration efficiency of at least 65% at a particulate size of 0.76 microns and a single face velocity of 20 feet per minute; directing the intake air downstream from the first stage air cleaner through an air flow gap to a second stage salt barrier; filtering salt from the intake air at the second stage salt barrier; and directing the intake air downstream from the second stage salt barrier to the gas turbine.
