Gas Turbine Efficiency, a leader in energy and aviation products and services, will be a focal point at the upcoming 2010 501F Users Group Annual Meeting in Orlando (February 21-22, 2010). Mike Bishoff, O&M Supervisor of Cleco Evangeline, will be presenting validated data from GTE’s compressor cleaning model system on the SGGT6-5000F.
GTE’s automatic online wash cleaning system has been designed to provide gas turbine operators the advantage of incorporating its patented water wash technology, which is seamlessly integrated into Siemens WDPF control system as an optimal solution for operational flexibility.
“The GTE water wash system is valuable because it is an easy to use, low maintenance cleaning system,” said Bishoff. “Thanks to its implementation, the unit can maintain the power output, reduce fuel and parts costs, and provide added operational flexibility.”
Bishoff will present evidence supporting how GTE’s unit can cut the engine degradation in half in comparison to the OEM water wash system, while demonstrating an average percent power benefit of 1.18% and motivating an average increase in engine efficiency of 0.42%.
GTE offers similar systems for most industrial gas turbines, utilizing its proprietary technology to create cost-effective solutions to a common need for power plant operators in the Energy Industry.
