type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ZOK is extremely proud to be associated with the last flying Vulcan aircraft, XH558, as a product sponsor. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Maintaining an aircraft designed 60 years ago that has just passed its 50th birthday is no easy task, but ZOK is ideally placed to play its part because the UK MoD has used ZOK to clean their gas turbine compressors for almost 30 years. Today  ZOK is used in Afghanistan and Iraq on all their aircraft which are operational in both combat and humanitarian arenas. ZOK’s corrosion inhibition properties guarantee that the jet engines are ready for flight no matter what the weather or operational conditions. This cleaning technology will ensure that XH558’s 4 Olympus engines are  operating at peak efficiency, ensuring this heritage aircraft remains flying for many years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6220901493612057665-894516330888718046?l=zokinternational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/feeds/894516330888718046/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/10/zok-is-extremely-proud-to-be-associated.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/894516330888718046'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/894516330888718046'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/10/zok-is-extremely-proud-to-be-associated.html' title=''/><author><name>Zok International</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03538536490587436761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220901493612057665.post-4829068714160901583</id><published>2011-10-05T11:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-05T11:04:27.365-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;ZOK 27 A SINGLE CLEANERAND INHIBITOR IN ONE.

Compressors aren't anydifferent. Whenever this compressor is in order for it to accomplishits function at the best of its capacity it needs to be maintained.Regular and proper maintenance on your compressor will make sure itsproper functioning. This is paramount because a low functioningcompressor may cause many issues. It can reduce production or maybebreakdown. A powerful &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;compressor cleaner&lt;/a&gt; is very important to utilizeto help maintain its work productivity. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;Arranging a regular&lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;compressor cleaner&lt;/a&gt; is very important. This will be determined on manythings. Where's the location of the compressor? Is it in an area thatit accumulates lots of dirt and dust? This is important as cleaningwould want to be done more frequently if it does. What age is thecompressor? This is also important to know when organizing&lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt; compressorcleaning&lt;/a&gt;. Older models will normally require far more cleaning moreregularly. A more recent model of compressor could be equipped toprovide some cleaning itself. It'll still need regular cleaningthough not as often.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;How often is thecompressor functioning? How many hours a day is it in use? This isalso extremely important to know. If the compressor is sporadicallyutilized then a compressor cleaning can be done less often. If its inuse continually then cleaning will be needed to be done moreregularly to secure its appropriate running. &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;Compressor cleaning&lt;/a&gt; hasadvanced over the years as well. Just as the compressor itself hasincreased so have the techniques to clean one. It used to be a greathand wipe with a basic cleaner was adequate. As opposed to now thereare specific superior chemicals used these days with &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;compressorcleaning&lt;/a&gt;. These make sure the unit is cleaned correctly as well asproviding protection to the compressor. So that it now works betterin supplying long life to the machine. As well as being and stayingcleaner longer now than it did before.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;As it is a chemical bevery careful when using a &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;compressor cleaner&lt;/a&gt;. Ensure that youcarefully read the directions included with the product. It’s vitalthat you stick to the directions completely to obtain the much ofyour compressor cleaner as well as to avoid mistakes and harm to theuser.

Moving the car to 300mph before the rocket engine takes it to the 1000mph challenge, is a Roll-Royce EuroJet EJ200 Typhoon aircraft jet engine.

Products such as this are still being employed by the MOD as the army stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq use it on their aircraft employed in humanitarian and combat operations, just like the Royal Navy (who rely on them substantially for the gas turbines utilized to propel their vessels).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6220901493612057665-8189303310849697871?l=zokinternational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/feeds/8189303310849697871/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/06/gas-turbine-efficiency_29.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/8189303310849697871'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/8189303310849697871'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/06/gas-turbine-efficiency_29.html' title='Gas Turbine Efficiency'/><author><name>Zok International</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03538536490587436761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220901493612057665.post-6106265158902871360</id><published>2011-06-16T04:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-16T04:15:43.833-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Gas Turbine Efficiency</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;The allegedly impending crises of fuel shortages, fuel price rises and of global warming hang over the society of western society in the twenty first century and as a result businesses and governments alike are searching for more environmentally friendly and cost effective sources of energy.

They are used for electrical power generation, on and offshore oil and gas exploration, as jet engines for planes, ships and in fast as well as very powerful motor vehicle engines. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;Gas turbine compressors consume very large quantities of air when running at full power. With this large ingress of air to the engine, a side effect is that particles of contaminants such as dust, salts, pollens and aerosols stick to the compressor blades and reduce the efficiency of the engine. These contaminants build up deposits of dirt that can hamper the air flow in the turbine. Consequently the performance of the gas turbine is compromised due to the build up of deposits within the gas compressor. This is damaging to the environment because more energy needs to be consumed to maintain power output. Therefore, keeping gas turbine compressors clean is essential and there are businesses that specialise in producing cleaning products for gas compressor turbines. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="mntxt" style="margin: 7.5pt 7.5pt 7.5pt 0cm; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: windowtext;"&gt;Gas turbine compressors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"&gt;need to be kept clean using regular maintenance and water washing with the appropriate chemical cleaning fluid. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;There are different types of cleaning fluid with slightly different properties. Some are engineered to inhibit corrosion and some specifically use organic soaps to prevent environmental damage. Companies that supply turbine cleaning fluid pride themselves on the variety of products they have on offer for the many various different types of engines and the needs of the client,&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;their websites offer price quotes and contact information.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"&gt;The cleaning fluid is added to the water wash; for either an online or offline compressor wash. An offline wash is done with the gas turbine in a cooled state using cranking speed and this is when the cleaning fluid is used to return the engine to peak performance. Whereas an online wash is done with the machine at its usual functioning temperature. The Offline cleaning mode is much more thorough and cleans the entire core, thereby recovering lost performance. Whereas online washing extends availability, in other words postpones the next big offline clean.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6220901493612057665-6512006659705488403?l=zokinternational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/feeds/6512006659705488403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/05/importance-of-gas-turbine-compressor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/6512006659705488403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/6512006659705488403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/05/importance-of-gas-turbine-compressor.html' title='The Importance of Gas Turbine Compressor Cleaning'/><author><name>Zok International</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03538536490587436761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220901493612057665.post-2628932999499471271</id><published>2011-05-21T07:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-21T07:35:39.651-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Compressor cleaner'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='compressor cleaners'/><title type='text'>Scheduling A Regular Compressor Cleaner Is Important</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;"&gt;As with any machine how well it works it vital to the overall success of the operation in which it is involved in. Compressors are no different. Wherever this compressor is in order for it to perform its function at the best of its ability it needs to be maintained. Regular and proper maintenance on your compressor will ensure its proper functioning.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This is paramount as a low functioning compressor can cause many problems. It can slow down production or even breakdown. An effective &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;compressor cleaner&lt;/a&gt; is important to use to maintain its productivity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;"&gt;Scheduling a regular compressor cleaner is very important. This will be determined on many things. Where is the location of the compressor? Is it in an area that it accumulates a lot of dirt and dust? This is important as cleaning would want to be done more often if it does. How old is the compressor? This is also important to know when scheduling compressor cleaning. Older models will generally require more cleaning as well as more often. A newer model of compressor may be equipped to provide some cleaning itself. It will still need regular cleaning yet not as often.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;"&gt;How often is the compressor functioning? How many hours a day is it in use? This is also very important to know. If the compressor is sporadically used then a compressor cleaning can be done less often. Yet if it is in use continuously then a cleaning will be needed to be done more often to secure its proper running. Compressor cleaning has advanced over the years as well. Just as the compressor itself has improved so have the techniques to clean one. It used to be a good hand wipe with a basic cleaner was adequate. Whereas now there are certain sophisticated chemicals used today with &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;compressor cleaner&lt;/a&gt;. These ensure the unit is cleaned properly as well as providing protection to the compressor. So it now works better in providing longevity to the machine. As well as being and staying cleaner longer now than it did before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; punctuation-wrap: simple;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;"&gt;As it is a chemical be very careful when using a &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;compressor cleaner&lt;/a&gt;.

Maximised efficiency can be either economic, productive or making the maximum use of all available resources. It must be noted, however, that it is easier for some businesses and industries to achieve greater efficiency than in others (such as the power production, aerospace and maritime industries). These aforementioned industries are often criticised for the supposedly considerable amount of damage they do to the environment as a result of using large amounts of scarce resources (such as the fossil fuels coal and natural gas) and producing a considerable amount of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides). It is for this reason that the businesses within these industries are able to increase productive efficiency with the same amount of resources as before. One very simple way of achieving this aim is through the cleaning of engines, gas turbines and compressors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;When an engine or a gas turbine is regularly cleaned, it reduces the likelihood of erosion, thereby allowing the turbine or engine to perform at a considerably more productive level. There are thankfully a large range of products specifically designed for the regular cleaning of turbines and engines, some of which are endorsed officially by large organisations such as the Ministry of Defence. It has been discovered that the use of &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;such cleaning products&lt;/a&gt; help to prevent corrosion and can also deal with salt fouling and the prevention of such fouling ensures that military search and rescue helicopters are available on demand. Also, the fact that the use of such cleaning products prevents corrosion typically result in a saving of £7000 per 1000 hours of flying, resulting in considerable savings being made in the long run. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;This is because (in the case of military search and rescue aircraft), the engines had to be immediately washed prior to take off in order to remove any previously applied corrosion inhibitors. Many other aerospace operators have also discovered that through the use of such cleaning products, during the cleaning of jet engines, results in the engines producing maximum thrust as well as producing minimum emissions and the highest possible fuel economy. This can potentially produce considerable savings being experienced by businesses using such products, meaning that they could make greater reinvestments back into the firm. Site engineers at power plants also state that using these cleaners maximise productive efficiency rates.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Reason is as they allow gas turbines to work at maximum output and efficiency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;Natalie Eastaugh is the Internet Marketing Specialist for JDRWebsites.co.uk&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;If you would like to get more information on &amp;lt;a href="http://www.zok.com"&amp;gt; compressor cleaner&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; in addition to information about Zok, go to zok.com&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6220901493612057665-819269539334910313?l=zokinternational.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/feeds/819269539334910313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/05/turbine-cleaner-and-engine-cleaner.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/819269539334910313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6220901493612057665/posts/default/819269539334910313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://zokinternational.blogspot.com/2011/05/turbine-cleaner-and-engine-cleaner.html' title='Turbine Cleaner And Engine Cleaner'/><author><name>Zok International</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03538536490587436761</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6220901493612057665.post-6703293308964090398</id><published>2011-05-06T03:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-06T03:19:26.487-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gas turbine efficiency'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='turbine efficiency'/><title type='text'>Gas Turbine Efficiency</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;The allegedly impending crises of fuel shortages, fuel price rises and of global warming hang over the society of western society in the twenty first century and as a result businesses and governments alike are searching for more environmentally friendly and cost effective sources of energy. Such energy sources are intended to replace the fossil fuels such as petrol, oil and natural gas (the use of which greatly exacerbates the problem of global warming through the production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides), sources of energy which are (according to reports) due to run out by the turn of the twenty second century.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;However, it may not be necessary to find new and renewable energy sources (which may not prove to be any more environmentally friendly than our existing sources) if we are able to make our current sources of energy, such as the means of producing electricity via gas turbines, more productive and cost efficient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Gas turbines generate electricity either as primary or secondary units, such as in natural gas-fuelled power plants where they are combined with steam turbines. The hot stream of gas (resulting from the combustion of the natural gas) or the steam produced by the steam turbines turns the blades of the gas turbine, producing mechanical energy which is then transferred to a generator which in turn creates electricity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;However, the &lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;performance of these gas turbines&lt;/a&gt; may be hindered by the simple fact that they are not being cleaned thoroughly enough, resulting in lower productivity and an output far below their potential.

Such energy sources are intended to replace the fossil fuels such as petrol, oil and natural gas (the use of which greatly exacerbates the problem of global warming through the production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides), sources of energy which are (according to reports) due to run out by the turn of the twenty second century.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;However, it may not be necessary to find new and renewable energy sources (which may not prove to be any more environmentally friendly than our existing sources) if we are able to make our current sources of energy, such as the means of producing electricity via gas turbines, more productive and cost efficient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.zok.com/"&gt;Gas turbines&lt;/a&gt; generate electricity either as primary or secondary units, such as in natural gas-fuelled power plants where they are combined with steam turbines. The hot stream of gas (resulting from the combustion of the natural gas) or the steam produced by the steam turbines turns the blades of the gas turbine, producing mechanical energy which is then transferred to a generator which in turn creates electricity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;However, the performance of these gas turbines may be hindered by the simple fact that they are not being cleaned thoroughly enough, resulting in lower productivity and an output far below their potential.
