A system comprises a gas turbine engine including a compressor, combustor, gas turbine, the combustor including a plurality of late lean fuel injectors; and wash system configured to be attached to and in fluid communication with the a plurality of late lean fuel injectors of the combustor. The wash system includes a water source supplying water; a first fluid source supplying a first fluid; a mixing chamber in communication with the water source and first fluid source; a water pump to pump water to the mixing chamber; a first fluid pump to pump the first fluid to the mixing chamber; a fluid line in fluid communication with the mixing chamber and at least one of the plurality of late lean fuel injectors so fluid from the mixing chamber is injected into the combustor at late lean fuel injectors. The wash system is operated with the gas turbine engine off-line.
A gas turbine engine system, comprising:
A method of washing an off-line gas turbine engine, the gas turbine engine including a compressor, a combustor, a gas turbine, the combustor including a plurality of late lean fuel injectors distal to a head end of the combustor, adjacent to an upstream side of the gas turbine, and supplied with secondary fuel to an interior of the combustor, the plurality of late lean fuel injectors configured to supply the secondary fuel in a direction substantially transverse to a longitudinal direction of the combustor, the method including:
