GE is the worlds largest aeroderivative service provider, with a

Experience

the LM2500+, and LM2500+G4 industrial, cogeneration, and oil

The LM2500+ and the LM2500+G4 take the proven technology

of the LM2500 Base gas turbine to higher power levels and
efficiencies. Derived from the CF6 family of aircraft engines used

global network of field service offices and fully equipped service

centers. A wide range of products and services are offered for

Maintaining a high degree of commonality with its flight-tested

and gas operators, including:

forerunners, the LM2500 family continues to build its reputation

Level IV Service Centers and overhaul capability in Houston,

as the most reliable industrial gas turbine generator in its class.

Texas; Rheden, the Netherlands, and Agotnes, Norway.

57 Million operating hours

More than 2,000 units
End users: mechanical drive and power generation for
industrial plants, pipelines, platforms and marine
Configurations: simple cycle, cogeneration and combined cycle

Conversions, Modifications and Upgrades (CM&Us) designed

Innovation

Spare or lease engine options

to enhance the efficiency, power output and reliability of

the LM2500+. Examples include Exhaust Flow Enhancer,
Wet/Dry Low Emissions (DLE) Upgrades; Inlet Conditioning,
Fuel Conversions and Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics.
Engine exchange programs

GE offers two models in the LM2500+ family of products:

LM2500+
Additional compressor stage for increased power output
and efficiency
Produces in excess of 29 MW ISO
Operates at 3000 or 3600 rpm without a gearbox

Rotable hot section and module exchange programs

Wide variety of contractual service agreements
This product offering, combined with GEs commitment to reduce
Service Center and outage turn times, may result in substantial
life-cycle cost savings for the plant owner/operator.
