Staged compressor water wash system

A method for washing a compressor, the compressor comprising an inlet and a plurality of blades, the method comprising:

• providing one or more nozzle sets, each nozzle set comprising one or more nozzles, each nozzle comprising a nozzle body and a nozzle spray tip disposed on an end of the nozzle body;
• applying one or more templates and/or installation tools to a portion of an inlet of the compressor to mark a location for each of the one or more nozzles;
• positioning each of the one or more nozzles of the nozzle sets in an opening on the inlet of the compressor at the corresponding marked location so that each nozzle extends into the inlet air flow path of the compressor and with the Fine of sight of the plurality of compressor blades;
• coupling each of the one or more nozzle sets to an output of a pump via a corresponding fluid delivery line;
• and
• selectively supplying fluid from the pump to one or more of the one or more nozzle sets, wherein the selective supply is based upon a sequencing pattern determined to wash a desired portion of the compressor blades.
