Pratt &
Whitney launched the EcoPower engine wash service business in late

models for more than 92 customers in 79 locations.
Pratt & Whitney's exclusive EcoPower engine wash system

approximately three pounds of carbon dioxide emissions for every
pound of fuel saved, while also decreasing engine gas temperature
thus increasing the time an engine can stay on wing.

service of aircraft engines, space propulsion systems and industrial
gas turbines. United
