Gas Turbine Efficiency plc ("GTE" or "the Group"), a leading
manufacturer of advanced systems to clean, monitor and enhance the
performance of aviation and industrial turbines, is pleased to
announce that it has been granted a European Patent concerning its
advanced on-wing aviation wash systems.
A patent application entitled "Universal Manifold System for
Washing an Aero Gas Turbine" Patent was filed on 8 June 2005 and was
awarded to GTE, effective 22 November 2007. The patent relates to key
parts in the design of GTE's highly environmentally-friendly aviation
wash systems. These systems have been deployed on a wide range of
aircraft engine designs through GTE's exclusive aviation partner,
Pratt & Whitney, and have delivered validated reductions in carbon
emissions, fuel costs, engine downtime and longer parts life.
Key features of the systems include a universal manifold,
automated positioning, 100% capture of effluent and treatment,
allowing closed loop washing at the gate. Using GTE's systems, major
airlines have achieved fuel savings of up to 1%, turbine wash times of
as low as 30 minutes per engine and carbon dioxide reductions of 3.1
kilograms for every 1 kilogram of fuel saved.
Steven Zwolinski, Chief Executive Officer of GTE, commented: "We
are delighted to be granted this European patent for our world-class
aviation wash systems. The patent strengthens GTE's intellectual
property position in the design of turbine wash systems, which set the
benchmark for delivering highly environmentally-friendly and value
enhancing solutions for aircraft operators worldwide."
