Gas Turbine Compressor Cleaning
Gas Turbine Cleaners
The compressor cleaning equipment is designed to remove deposits from the compressor. A contaminated or dirty compressor will be most evident in the form of reduced maximum output power or increased exhaust gas temperature, and increase fuel consumption at a given output power and ambient temperature. In severe cases, deposits may cause compressor stall during acceleration or application of load.
The frequency of cleaning will be a function of the operating environment and degree of air filtration provided. The optimum frequency of cleaning is best determined by operating experience and regular monitoring of turbine performance.
R-MC is a superior cleaning liquid for removing oil contaminated build up and salt in the compressor and compressor diffusors. With R-MC, the cleaning procedure is easy, fast and safe. R-MC is non-toxic, biodegradable and non-flammable.
R-MC cleans gas turbine compressors and extends their component lives
Your problem
You can count on it. The compressor in your gas turbine engine accumulates contamination. We know the predictable problems that follow:
- Dramatic power output reduction
- Higher operating temperature
- Poor fuel efficiency
- Stalling and vibration during acceleration
Our solution
With R-MC, cleaning is only the beginning.
R-MC’s patent describes a unique deionized water-based formulation of surface active agents that inhibit contamination while it safely cleans compressor components. It works perfectly free of any harmful interaction with fuels or lubricants.
Inject R-MC while your engine is running . This environmentally safe online engine cleaning formula cleans by removing layers of contaminant deposits. Notice the fine white ash discharging with exhaust gases. That’s R-MC at work.
When you add R-MC to your maintenance schedule, you can count on:
- Restoration of designed efficiency
- Lower operating temperature
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Contamination reversal
- Extended working life
