METHOD OF AND CLEANING AGENT FOR THE CLEANING OF COMPRESSORS, ESPECIALLY GAS TURBINES

摘要

The compressors of gas turbines are cleaned on-line or off-line by scrubbing them with an aqueous solution of dimethyl esters of succinic acid, glutaric acid and adipic acid together with nonionic and/or cationic surface active agents. The scrubbing solution components are easily biodegradable or break down during the operation of the turbine without forming corrosives or environmentally harmful components.
