Gas Turbine Efficiency Experiences Improving Energy Aftermarket and Strengthening Demand For Core Products

Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy and aviation products and services, is reporting an increase in expected revenue for the first quarter of 2010, an improvement supported by several operating units. GTE revenue for Q1 2010 is expected to be in the range of $9.5-10.0M—up 20-25% over a strong Q1 2009 ($7.4M). This performance is supported by order increases in the company’s Energy Services and Aviation products.

Performance improvements have recently been validated and published by leading customers, demonstrating a return on their investment in as little as four months. Compressor water wash systems are a major product line in the GTE portfolio of patented solutions for both power generation and aviation turbines—and have experienced increased recognition, acceptance and sales in these industries.

Four major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of gas turbines had previously approved and signed agreements for further development and sales of GTE’s patented technology for use on their engines. Most recently, compressor cleaning system installations have been finalized and more operators have implemented the solution.

Several products are expected to be up over 100% compared to Q1 2009 ($1.1M) for GTE’s Combustion services, reflecting its newly launched aftermarket solutions and rapidly growing acceptance by end customers in the Energy market. Furthermore, since the addition of the Turbine Services platform in July 2009, customer acceptance has been very high, as demonstrated by the recent announcement of a three-year agreement with Entegra Power Group.

GTE is reporting an increase in expected revenue for the first quarter of 2010, an improvement supported by several operating units.

Aviation products have also enjoyed success with a recently announced $1.6M order from Pratt & Whitney, which demonstrates strengthening demand for this service, supported by energy efficiency and life cycle cost benefits and expectations to see further benefit from higher fuel prices.

“We are pleased to report generally stronger market conditions across several aftermarket sectors,” said Steven Zwolinski, Chief Executive Officer at GTE. “We are now in a much stronger position with our core product lines, with validated performance data in compressor cleaning as well as rapidly expanding customer acceptance of recently launched combustion products and turbine services platforms. “

The Q1 2010 expected revenue increase is on top of the strong first half 2009 performance reported in September. Overall, 2009 was a very challenging global energy market, in which GTE had top line growth in line with market expectations.

As the energy industry continues to conserve cash and investment spend and adjusts to demand profiles, GTE views continues to see 2010 as challenging. That said, GTE is better positioned to grow in such an environment with newly launched product and service offerings targeted at the more ‘recession resistant’ energy aftermarket segment.

GTE has been featured in several prominent power generation publications and conferences generating interest and additional proposals for new sales. Notably, in February 2010, GTE was featured at the 501F Gas Turbine Users Group Annual Conference in Orlando, FL, where Louisiana-based power producer Cleco Evangeline presented a case study on GTE’s compressor water wash systems as an optimal solution for operational improvements. The data presented offered an average percent power benefit of 1.18 percent and motivating an average increase in energy efficiency of 0.42 percent which translates to rapid return on investment.

A case study on the compressor water wash system is available for download from GTE’s website at http://www.gtefficiency.com/case_studies.asp.

“Long term economic and environmental factors appear to be strengthening across all sectors as customers place more value on fuel efficiency, asset output/performance and life cycle costs,” Zwolinski added. “GTE continues to invest in the solutions that customers require. These short term results are an early validation of that strategy.”

Full year 2009 results are expected to be announced on April 23, 2010 and will be available on the company’s website at http://www.gtefficiency.com.

Gas Turbine Efficiency’s Multi-Stage Compressor Cleaning System To Be Featured in Energy Industry Conference

Louisiana-based Cleco will be presenting GTE’s compressor cleaning system performance data at the 501F Users Group Annual Conference in Orlando

(ORLANDO, FL) — Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy and aviation products and services, will be a focal point at the upcoming 2010 501F Users Group Annual Meeting in Orlando, where Mike Bishoff, O&M Supervisor of Cleco Evangeline, will be presenting recently validated data from GTE’s compressor cleaning model system on the SGGT6-5000F.

GTE’s automatic online wash cleaning system has been designed to provide gas turbine operators the advantage of incorporating its patented water wash technology, which is seamlessly integrated into Siemens WDPF control system as an optimal solution for operational flexibility.

In 2008, GTE commissioned a rigorous Research and Development program with Cleco Evangeline to eliminate the excessive compressor fouling on three combined cycle SGT6-5000F (W501F) engines. Based on the results of the R&D efforts, GTE designed a patent-pending, fully automated, multi-stage nozzle cleaning system for online and offline compressor wash systems with the aim of reducing engine power degradation and increasing engine efficiency.

“The GTE water wash system is valuable because it is an easy to use, low maintenance cleaning system,” said Bishoff. “Thanks to its implementation, the unit can maintain the power output, reduce fuel and parts costs, and provide added operational flexibility.”

Bishoff will present evidence supporting how GTE’s unit can cut the engine degradation in half in comparison to the OEM water wash system, while demonstrating an average percent power benefit of 1.18% and motivating an average increase in engine efficiency of 0.42%.

GTE offers similar systems for most industrial gas turbines, utilizing its proprietary technology to create cost-effective solutions to a common need for power plant operators in the Energy Industry.

In addition to being featured in a conference presentation, GTE will be hosting 501F users at its Welcome Reception on Sunday, February 21. The event will be held at the Admirals Pool at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. GTE will also be exhibiting in the vendor fair on Monday, February 22, where a model of the 501F bellmouth and inlet nozzles will be on display, showcasing GTE’s nozzle spray patterns.

Gas Turbine Efficiency Compressor Wash Systems Increase Power Generation Output

GTE’s innovative clean technology recovered 2 megawatts of lost performance in client’s power plant

ORLANDO, Florida — Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy and aviation products and services, is using its cleantech water wash systems to keep Energy Industry clients’ gas turbines in optimal operating condition, helping these power generation companies increase their energy output, reduce emissions and improve heat rate.

A recent case study from GTE shows how one of the largest energy retailers in North America successfully installed an online compressor wash system on two GE MS7001EA gas turbines at their Texas plant. With this enhancement, the energy producer increased output and can avoid unscheduled downtime to clean the compressor that would otherwise be required to bring the gas turbine back to its output potential.

“Internal and external contaminants can cause gas turbine’s compressor blades and vanes to foul, which in turn can lead to surging, blade corrosion,  and significant efficiency loss,” said Robert Burke, Manager Applications Engineer at GTE. “By installing GTE’s compressor wash system, our client recovered lost productivity and effectively paid for the system in the first 3.2 months of operation.

The attached published data has quantified the benefits of installing the GTE water wash system and reports recovering lost power of up to two Megawatts in this power generator a sizeable improvement when compared to its gas turbine operation before installing the system. From an environmental perspective, this installation also recorded a NOx reduction of 1958.4 lbs per year and 1468.8 lbs per MW-Hr of CO.

By installing a GTE online compressor wash system, a power plant has the potential to extend the time between offline washes through the peak season with much less performance loss—a solution that offers gas turbine operators cost savings without compromising efficiency.
