Hello everyone. I need help in determining how waste water is handled during an Off-Line compressor wash on a Westinghouse 501AA unit and on a GE Frame 7C unit. I can't figure out where the water ends up. Does anybody have experience with this.
Thanks,

As far as I know on the 701DA (50Hz variant of the 501) the water either runs out of the combuster shell drain or is vapourised when the unit next lights off.

It is site dependent. All of our drains go to our on-site waste water facility where it is treated before being released. If you don't have that type of situation, you must recover this waste water and dispose of it properly.
