These new orders were awarded under the 10-year contract extension announced on 3 January 2006. This takes the total of new orders, worth over $1.3 million, placed by Pratt & Whitney up to four. Pratt & Whitney plans to deploy EcoPower which utilizes GTE's cleaning systems, in commercial aviation hubs based in Asia and Europe. Through 2005, the majority of GTE and EcoPower activity was in the United States. Steven Zwolinski, CEO of GTE, said: 'We are pleased with the recent contract extension and subsequent orders from Pratt & Whitney's EcoPower business. The expanding global footprint of the EcoPower infrastructure is a positive reflection on the end customer value associated with GTE's technology.'

The Company sells its products globally to international blue chip customers in the aviation and industrial sectors and to date its products have been used on over 1,000 gas turbines across 34 countries in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. Its operational centres are located in Stockholm, Sweden and Houston, Texas, USA. The GTE system provides an effective high pressure cleaning solution which, in the case of the aviation sector provides for a shorter and less costly process and, in the case of the industrial sector, enables engines to be washed with water when on-line without requiring the engine to be shut down. The added benefits of on-line washing provide both fuel efficiency savings as well as availability improvements, due to the elimination of a portion of the off-line or shutdown events.
