Commercial Aircraft Filtration
Contamination control solutions for aircraft fluid and air systems
From cabin air to nitrogen generating systems and hydraulic flight control systems, filtration plays a critical role in commercial aircraft operation. Pall Aerospace designs and manufactures contamination control solutions for aircraft fluid systems, working closely with aircraft OEMs to ensure that systems meet industry requirements.
What is commercial aircraft filtration?
Commercial aircraft filtration systems are used to manage contamination across air and fluid systems within an aircraft. These systems are applied in areas such as cabin air, fuel, lubrication and hydraulics, where filtration supports system operation.
Pall Aerospace develops filtration solutions for these applications as part of integrated aircraft systems.
Why is filtration important in commercial aviation?
Filtration supports the operation of aircraft systems by removing contamination from fluids and air streams used across the aircraft.
Pall contamination control solutions are used in multiple applications, including:
Cabin air systems
Nitrogen generating systems (NGS)
Hydraulic flight control systems
Fuel and lubrication systems
These solutions are supplied to aircraft OEMs for integration into commercial aircraft platforms.
Where are filtration systems used on commercial aircraft?
Filtration is applied across a range of aircraft systems, aligned to ATA chapters.
Which aircraft platforms use Pall filtration solutions?
Pall filtration solutions are approved and used on a wide range of commercial aircraft programs, including:
- Airbus A220, A300/310, A320 family, A330/340, A380
