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

October 13, 2010

GTE’s compressor cleaning system performance data presented at the 6th User Group Conference for Siemens V94.3A/V84.3A gas turbines

(ORLANDO, FL) — Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (AIM: GTE), a leader in energy and aviation products and services, recently presented at the 6th V94.3A/V84.3A user group conference in Melaka, Malaysia, where Robert Burke, Manager of Applications Engineering for GTE, presented recently validated data from GTE’s compressor cleaning model system.

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 the control system as an optimal solution for operational flexibility. In 2008, GTE commissioned a rigorous Research and Development program to eliminate 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 Burke. “Thanks to its implementation, the unit can maintain the power output, reduce fuel and parts costs, and provide added operational flexibility.”

Burke presented 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.

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

March 24, 2010

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 - Gas Turbine Efficiency

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.
