Extended maintenance plan
Typical aeroderivative gas turbines have maintenance intervals of 8,000, 25,000, and 50,000 hours. The LM6000PF+ aeroderivative gas turbine is designed to extend those intervals to 10,000, 30,000, and 60,000 hours (contact Baker Hughes to check the extension capability as per your needs and your operability profile). This significantly increases the unit’s availability and production—which is particularly ideal for LNG plants.
Enhanced performance
Designed to deliver 53.8 MW with over 42% efficiency, the LM6000 PF+ aeroderivative gas turbine has the best $/kW in its power class. It’s also more reliable and flexible than other options in its class—able to start in less than five minutes and reach full power in 10 minutes or less.
It’s ideal in Liquefied Natural Gas application thanks to its pressurized LNG compressor startup capability, without helper motor assistance.
