Application of a Multistage Compressor Cleaning System on Large Frame DLN Combustion Turbines

A well designed water wash system can maintain and even improve turbine power, efficiency, and profitability, without impacting the durability of compressor components.

Gas turbine compressors consume up to 60% of the energy involved in operating the engine. Any efficiency degradation of the compressor, such as erosion or fouling, will significantly impact the overall machine performance. Power generation companies are constantly searching for ways to maintain power plant profitability by means of maintaining and increasing output, while achieving the highest possible gas turbine efficiency for decreased operational costs.

Furthermore, oil and gas companies are constantly looking for increased runtime and extra capacity. Compressor online and offline washing aid to improve the primary industry drivers of power, efficiency, reliability and availability.
