  • Publication number: 20150285094
    Abstract: A cleaning solution for a turbine engine includes a reagent composition including water within a range between about 25 percent and about 70 percent by volume of the reagent composition, an acidic component within a range between about 0.1 percent and about 50 percent by volume of the reagent composition, and an amine component within a range between about 1 percent and 40 percent by volume of the reagent composition. The reagent composition is diluted with water by a factor of up to about 40 to form the cleaning solution. The cleaning solution has a pH value in the range between 2.5 and 7.0. The cleaning solution is directed towards a component of the turbine engine having a layer of foreign material thereon, to at least partially remove the foreign material from the component. The layer of foreign material is formed at least partially from at least one of thermal reaction products of the foreign material and interstitial cement.
