Gas Turbine Washing Services

The compressor of a gas turbine ingests a large amount of air. This air (even when filtered), contains contaminants which are deposited on the compressor blades and stator blades, which in turn, increases fuel usage, higher EGT and shorter component life. In order to avoid this; Fairtex applies standard operating procedures from the OEM in order to wash the turbine, the wash is pumped into the engine at high pressure through nozzles and also a wash skid is normally provided by Fairtex according to OEM specifications.

Our Gas Turbine Washing Services Covers:

• Offline washing – the engine is not running is not online


• Crank soak washing – the engine is cranked over by the starter and gets to soak for a while.


• Cold wash – the engine is cold.
