Where is the LM6000 used?
Applications. Over 1000 LM6000 gas turbines shipped and over 21 million hours of operation. Applications include power generation for combined cycle or peak power. Other applications include combined heat and power for industrial and independent power producers.
How many stages does the LM6000 have?
The LM6000™ is comprised of a five-stage low-pressure compressor (LPC), a 14-stage high-pressure compressor (HPC), an annular combustor, a two-stage high-pressure turbine (HPT), and a fivestage low-pressure turbine (LPT).

What type of fuel does a LM2500 use?
F-24376A type B fuel
The combustion system for the LM2500 engine was developed to operate with low-cost fuels meeting MID-F-24376A type B fuel.
How many units of LM6000 are there?
With over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,300 units shipped, GE’s LM6000 aeroderivative gas turbine is a leader in the +40 MW space. The LM6000 offers greater than 99 percent start and operational reliability and over 98 percent availability.
How long does it take to install the LM6000?
Universal and modular packaging gives the LM6000 a smaller footprint and allows for faster installation—in as little as 3 months for simple cycle and 12 months for combined cycle configurations—the fastest installation time in our history.
What kind of fuel does the LM6000 use?
The LM6000 allows you to operate on a wide variety of fuels—including natural gas, LPG (propane and butane), isopentane, ethanol, diesel, and Coke Oven gas. This means you can quickly switch between fuels to save money, all without stopping, and without a reduction in power.
What is LM6000pf+ aeroderivative gas turbine?
The LM6000PF+ aeroderivative gas turbine is designed to extend those intervals to 10,000, 30,000, and 60,000 hours. This significantly increases the unit’s availability and production—which is particularly ideal for LNG plants.
