How Our Gas Turbine Cleaning Services Work
Using premier cleaning products and our innovative services, we’re able to offer a new level of exceptional solutions for your gas turbine equipment.
As hydrocarbons build up on the blades, the flow cross-section changes and decreases the equipment’s operating power. Our solution is our compressor cleaning system and detergents, which work together to help recover the lost generating output. This system allows for cleaning the turbine compressor in offline use and holding the maximum compressor power in online use.
Our offline cleaning process combines these technologies and products to thoroughly clean your gas turbine equipment. We start by applying a light atomized spray to the contaminated surface of the gas turbine. After letting the solution work, we’ll use steam cleaning to remove the contaminants. Our online cleaning process allows plants to use permanently mounted or mobile skids to inject the cleaning solutions while remaining operational.
Gas turbine fouling can significantly impact your efficiency, and it’s essential to get the right cleaning services to prevent the debris buildup from continuing. Our work will provide visible performance improvements, boosting your gas turbine’s productivity and saving you time and energy costs.
Turbines are quickly cleaned by our experienced personnel to support dovetail inspections and other maintenance work that is required during both scheduled and emergency shut downs.

Why Is Gas Turbine Washing Necessary?
Gas turbines accumulate residue through regular use. The system’s compressor will build up hydrocarbons, oil, grease, sand and other contaminants that inhibit its ability to send pressurized air to the combustion system. These unwanted substances will stick to the compressor’s blades, altering their shape and preventing air from flowing through the system.
A dirty compressor is more susceptible to damage and will cause the entire turbine to lose efficiency. Gas turbine cleaning prevents the loss of time and money spent repairing or replacing components.
How Can You Tell When You Need to Clean Your Turbine?
Dirty turbine compressors result in power reductions, discharge pressure reductions and exhaust temperature increases. A change of 2% or more in any category is a sign to schedule a cleaning appointment. Regular gas turbine cleaning limits the effects that time and everyday use have on a system.
Implementing consistent cleaning procedures helps your business stay ahead of the most common issues and notice any differences in your system’s performance early.
