(54)	Device and method for collecting waste water from turbine engine washing

(57) The invention relates to an apparatus for collecting waste water from cleaning operations performed on aircraft turbine engines. It comprises a frame structure (41). On the frame a support arm (44) is pivotally mounted. An actuator arm (46) is arranged to raise and lower the support arm between an essentially horizontal transport position to an operative position forming an angle in the range of more than 0° to 90° or less with respect to the horizontal. There is further a liquid separation device (47) pivotally attached to the support arm so as to be movable around both a horizontal and a vertical axis.
