Pratt & Whitney says it
recently closed on an agreement with Gas Turbine Efficiency to
purchase the assets of the company's aviation business, which
provides patented technology for Pratt & Whitney's EcoPower
engine wash service.
According to Pratt & Whitney,
it had exclusive rights to use Gas Turbine Efficiency's technology
to wash aircraft engines since it launched its EcoPower engine wash
service in 2004.
With this agreement, Pratt &
Whitney will own the intellectual property for the technology as
well as other assets associated with Gas Turbine Efficiency's
aviation business.
