Cleaning Power for Gas Turbines

/in /by

Ecolink provides two products for powerful gas turbine cleaning. Both Zok mx® and Zok 27® are fantastic tools for cleaning turbines.

Powerful on-line and off line compressor cleaning fluid for gas turbines in aviation, industrial, offshore, and power generation applications.

The regular washing of gas turbines compressors is know to provide the most effective method of preventing long term compressor fouling. It ensures maximum available power output, improved fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear on components, such as bearings and blades.

Online washing (hot washing) can significantly extend the period between necessary shutdowns for off-line washing, thus reducing costly downtime and lost production.

Zok mx® is an concentrated water-based, non-flammable environmentally friendly biodegradable fluid. Specifically developed for heavy-duty cleaning of gas turbine engine compressors. It’s a special blend of non-ionic surfactants, organic solvents, and demineralized water.

The shelf life for Zok mx® is 5 years and the pH value ranges from 8.0-8.5. The application for this product is spray ring or lance in either motor-over (off-line) or fired (on-line) wash as directed by the engine manufacturers in the quantities recommended by them.

Zok 27® is a concentrated neutral water-based detergent cleaning fluid for cleaning and corrosion inhibition of gas turbine engines compressors. It’s a blend of non-ionic surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, organic solvents and demineralized water.

To apply this product, spray ring or lance in either motor-over (off-line) or fired (on-line) wash as directed by the engine manufacturers in the quantities recommended by them. It is essential during hot wash that the cleaner should leave as little ash residue as possible to avoid blocking turbine cooling bald holes.

The unique corrosion inhibitor allows engines to be left ready for instant restart, even in salty offshore conditions.

Down time is lost power and lost power is lost money. Let’s get to work!

  • Operating gas turbine power plant, natural gas compressor station, solar gas turbines or combined cycle gas turbine powered by Siemens gas turbines, GE gas turbines, or Rolls-Royce gas turbines (i.e., Trent 60 and Allison 250 series) and need better gas turbine performance and gas turbine efficiency? Look no further, our turbine wash and compressor wash portfolio of both water-based and high purity petroleum-based compressor cleaning solvents leave surfaces clean and oil free and can be used with any on-line / off-line injection system to maintain maximum turbine efficiency for far longer than with conventional gas compressor cleaners. Steam turbine performance, efficiency and efficiency of wind turbines require gas turbine cleaners with low metals that are specifically formulated for on-line, fired wash cleaning of gas turbine compressor to readily penetrate and solubilize heavy oils, asphaltic materials and grease deposits so that they can be removed by a water or solvent flush. It is especially effective in cleaning turbine blades and internal systems, as well as in a variety of general-purpose de-oiling applications. We offer ZOK 27, ZOK MX and very cost-effective alternatives to JAD Chemical and Rochem Fyrewash®.
  • Wind turbine maintenance and wind farm maintenance just got easier. Do you clean the inside of nacelle of a wind turbine? Ever experience freezing, especially during winter months, from using aqueous cleaners such as Simple Green®? We have you covered during every season. Between our flagship dielectric solvents Electron and Positron approved by Siemens-Westinghouse and GE Energy respectively for tough to remove oils and greases and our one-of-a-kind, Rip Tide for all-purpose, hand-wipe you can complete your maintenance and cleanup of nacelle interior faster and safer while minimizing operating and maintenance costs (O&M).

Using Acetone as a Degreaser

/in /by

Degreasing is a process used in many industries to remove unwanted dirt, grime, grease, or oil from a piece of machinery or to prepare a part for finishing. A variety of products are applicable to accomplish this task; however, many companies are turning to acetone to meet their degreasing needs. Acetone is a colorless, flammable organic compound that can be mixed with water and serves as an important solvent in several industries. Approximately one-third of the Acetone found throughout the world is applied as a solvent or cleaning agent. It is a dependable choice for these among other items:

• Plastics
• Synthetic Fibers
• Thinning of Polyester Resin
• Tool Cleaning
• Metal Preparation
• Soldering Applications

While extremely flammable, this particular cleaning agent meets a number of needs and is becoming a preferred choice because it is not considered to be a dangerous volatile organic compound or hazardous air pollutant. Acetone is one of the most commonly available solvents next to water and its use is not heavily regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Understanding the Pros of Acetone

A volatile organic compound or VOC is a substance capable of polluting the environment. The EPA regulates these items to make certain they are used, stored, and disposed of correctly in order to prevent environmental harm. Hazardous air pollutants or HAP’s are chemicals capable of causing health related problems in the event of being inhaled. Acetone does have an intense odor, but is nonthreatening as a vapor when exposure remains limited or low. Companies choose to use acetone because there are no regulations regarding how much is used. Manufacturers are also not subject to extensive EPA regulations as with alternative degreasing products. The organic compound provides a useful option since it can be mixed with various types of solvents. It is also a mixable option for items such as paints, coloring products, and finishes since it can be combined with water. This makes it an ideal choice in finishing industries where a part or item must be prepared for coating purposes or a particular type of coating needs an additional agent.

Degreasing Purposes

Acetone evaporates much faster than alternative choices and serves as one of the strongest in regards to easy obtainability. As a degreaser, it is extremely dry and non-oily thus ensuring no additional film is left behind as the cleaning process takes place. Flammability properties increase the importance of making certain vapors are not allowed to build up extensively. This situation can result in an explosion or form of flash fire by a single spark. The strength of acetone poses a few problems in instances where a paint or finish should not be removed. It should only be used as a cleaner on solvent-resistant finishes such as varnish or epoxy resin. Acetone has many purposes in equipment maintenance, cleaning, degreasing, finishing, and paint removal. It is capable of eliminating heavy amounts of grease and other unwanted items from surfaces without the introduction of a VOC or HAP oriented agent into the surrounding atmosphere. When used for degreasing, acetone eliminates many of the concerns associated with heavy duty equipment or surface contaminant removal products and finishing processes.
