GE’s ClearCore™ Engine Wash system is a mobile unit that enables airlines to quickly and easily clean surface contaminants from inner aircraft engine components to maximize engine operating efficiency. It is designed to fully capture contaminated wash water and filter it for reuse, preventing effluent runoff during the wash operation. When ClearCore™ use is coupled with GE’s diagnostic analysis service, ideal wash details and intervals can be established to optimize engine washing effectiveness.

Environmental Benefits
GE's ClearCore™ Engine Wash system is a mobile unit that enables airlines to quickly and easily clean surface contaminants from inner aircraft engine components to maximize engine operating efficiency. In severe cases, such washable contamination can increase fuel consumption and associated CO2 emissions by more than 2%, although average impact is typically less. For a customer suffering only 0.25% fuel efficiency loss due to an ineffective or non-existent wash program, using GE's ClearCore™ Engine Wash system and diagnostics to design an optimized wash regimen could reduce annual CO2 emissions by 1,900 metric tons for a fleet of ten 777-300ER/GE90-115B aircraft in typical operation.
