Patent ID: 8764910

Claim:
A turbine washing system having: a turbine site having at least one turbine; a first component comprising: a water making apparatus at the turbine site near the turbine, the water making apparatus extracting water from air; the water making apparatus having: filtering and purifying means for filtering and purifying the extracted water to provide extremely clean water having a conductivity of less than 3 microsiemen/cm; and a holding tank in which the extremely clean water is stored over time until needed, the holding tank being at least large enough to wash turbine blades once; deionizing means selectively receiving the extremely clean water from the holding tank as needed and delivering ultra clean water having a conductivity of less than 1 microsiemen/cm; and a second component comprising a water delivery system directly connected to the deionizing means, the water delivery system receiving the ultra clean water and directing it as a liquid to the turbine during delivery and directly onto the turbine blades for a short period of time to wash the turbine blades while the turbine is on-line.
