Gas Turbine Efficiency Announces New Agreement with Entegra Power Group Subsidiaries

March 18, 2010

ORLANDO, Florida — Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy and aviation products and services, has executed master services agreements with Tampa-based Entegra Power Group to provide gas and steam turbine major outage field services for their 4,400MW fleet consisting of 7FA combined cycle units.

GTE’s three-year agreement with Entegra includes providing Major Gas and Steam Turbine and Generator Mechanical maintenance outage and inspection services through the company’s Turbine Services Business Unit, which is spearheaded by John Duff—an executive with more than three decades of experience in the power generation industry.

“The three-year agreement ensures Entegra has access to GTE’s proven teams for their scheduled maintenance,” said John Duff, President of the Turbine Services Business Unit.

“This agreement further strengthens our position as a leading solutions provider for major end users in the power generation industry,” said Steven Zwolinski, Chief Executive Officer at GTE. “Strategically, the turbine services platform provides an important dimension to GTE’s growing portfolio of patented environmental and performance solutions.”

Both companies have a strong business relationship following GTE’s recent implementation of turbine upgrades including the installation of a combustion dynamics monitoring system (CDMS) to help control emissions, manage dynamics and provide increased output for Entegra Power Group’s Gila River Power Station in Gila Bend, AZ—a project that was recently profiled by Combined Cycle Magazine.

Gas Turbine Efficiency to Showcase Innovative Solutions at Western Turbine Users Conference in San Diego

March 12, 2010

GTE will present technical information and proven solutions to gas turbine operators attending the conference

ORLANDO, Florida — Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy and aviation products and services, will be attending the upcoming Western Turbine Users, Inc. (WTUI) conference to exchange technical, operations and maintenance information.

GTE plans to showcase its line of compressor cleaning systems and fuel conditioning solutions at the WTUI conference, interacting with attendees to improve the reliability and financial viability of LM Series gas turbines in use by gas turbine operators worldwide.

GTE’s innovative online and offline water wash systems use a patented process that increases plant availability and fuel efficiency. This system has been proven on over 800 gas turbines across the globe with more than 20 million operating hours and can reduce water consumption by up to 65 percent, and gain 3 percent in performance recovery, 1 percent in heat rate and 2 percent availability improvements.

The company’s Fuel Conditioning Systems assist gas turbine operators in eliminating entrained liquids and contaminants, which can cause premature parts failure or increased maintenance. By removing liquids from gas, GTE can help gas turbine operators increase outage intervals and decrease maintenance.

The conference will be celebrating its 20th anniversary since Western Turbine Users, Inc. created the forum as a place for gas turbine operators to exchange information involving LM2500, LM5000, LM6000 and LMS100 aeroderivative gas turbine engines.

Gas Turbine Efficiency’s South Carolina Office Awarded Quality Management System Certification

January 20, 2010

GTE office locations in the U.S. and Europe now hold ISO 9001:2008 accreditation

DUNCAN, South Carolina – Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy services and aviation products is announcing that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has awarded the company the ISO 9001:2008 certification for its Fuels and Combustion Facility located in Duncan, SC.

With the ISO 9001:2008 certification, GTE validates meeting international requirements for its total quality management (TQM) systems, which are particularly important to engineering and technology companies. GTE’s commitment to excellence uses the globally implemented standard outlined by ISO to provide assurance about the company’s ability to satisfy quality requirements and to enhance customer satisfaction in supplier-customer relationships.

GTE’s South Carolina office is its third ISO 9001:2008 certified location, along with the Orlando, FL and Järfälla, Sweden facilities. The ISO standards drive business operations in areas such as order entry, design control, material procurement, document control, process control and training, among many more competencies and departments.

“GTE is a world-class engineering company and the ISO accreditation certifies our brand as a symbol of quality,” said Steven Zwolinski, Chief Executive Officer at GTE. “This is a great accomplishment for our team as quality management is the foundation of our continued customer satisfaction.”

In order to qualify to become an ISO 9001:2008 company, an organization must demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Since ISO requires self policing and compliance, the organization must aim to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for continual improvement of the system.

“We are dedicated to showing our development, implementation and commitment to quality,” said Joe Palmer, Manager for GTE’s Fuels and Combustion Facility, whose staff led the certification effort. “The nine-month certification process was well worth our commitment and will strengthen our business relationships.”

With the ISO certification, GTE effectively enhances its credentials as a leader in the industries it serves, creating a point of reference for customer trust and business growth in the international marketplace.
