THAI Airways has taken delivery of its ClearCore engine wash system, developed by GE Aviation. GE’s ClearCore system could save THAI more than $4m annually if utilized across the airline’s aircraft fleet. THAI Airways has taken many steps to reduce its impact on the environment, and GE’s ClearCore engine wash system is another way that we can improve our engine’s fuel consumption and performance, which ultimately reduces emissions,” said Flt. Lt. Montree Jumrieng, Managing Director of Technical Department, Thai Airways International Public Company Limited.
An engine’s performance deteriorates over time due to mechanical wear and environmental contamination, such as dust and sand. The deterioration caused by these environmental factors can be lessened with GE’s ClearCore . The mobile unit enables operators to quickly and easily clean surface contaminants, like dust and other environmental deposits, from inner aircraft engine components to maximize operating efficiency.
