Future-proof your B & E gas turbine fleet

We worked very closely with Gas Power from the beginning of the project, taking a very focused approach. As a result, the GE Vernova team was able to have all the necessary parts in just one week, which was an incredible accomplishment. And we couldn’t be happier with the upgraded gas turbine’s performance.

In an industry characterized by constant change and technological advances, an industrial chemical facility in Asia needed to find a way to improve production levels. 

To increase efficiency and output while reducing emissions, GE’s new 6B repowering technology will be utilized on three 6B units. The output increase of 25% is expected to help the customer accelerate the rate of chemical production and could lead to significant fuel savings.

"Myanmar is developing 4 GW of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) capacity to create a more reliable source of power. GE Gas Power is playing a key role in this project."

GE proposed a 6B rotor total life management solution to enable the operators to make the most of cycle times for parts manufacturing, improve outage labor efficiencies and utilize a rotor concept that will reduce overall costs.

With a goal of providing reliable and competitive energy to Asia, one of our customers came to GE to perform rotor life extension services on 9 of its 9F gas turbine rotors. It required a $4 million investment in the GRSS (GE Repair Solutions Singapore), which enabled the service center to perform rotor life extensions on both 7F and 9F gas turbines—and the additional capacity has increased the center’s capability by at least 35%.

The project started as a partnership two years before the RLE work began at the GRSS, with the customer and GE working together to determine what additional inspection tooling and machines the center needed, investing in and installing the new equipment, and training the machine vendors.

"GE certainly gave us a jump in availability before summer starts taxing us. Our 107EA turbines aren’t just better, they’re helping us meet emissions best practices, which is the sustainability example Cooperative Energy wants to set as one of the major generation and transmission cooperatives in Mississippi."

Playing a vital role in developing construction projects across the Middle East for over 50 years, Saudi Cement knew they needed an upgrade to improve reliability and efficiency in their manufacturing process. The AGP upgrade of its three 6B gas turbines will allow Saudi Cement to become more self-sufficient in power production, achieve greater cost efficiencies by significantly saving fuel and enable the company to better serve the industry’s supply chain in alignment with the Saudi National Transformation Program’s goal to improve fuel utilization in electricity generation to 40% by 2020.

"Incorporating these new technologies into our power station is central to our long-term strategy of producing aluminum products as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible for our customers. The solutions GE has customized for our unique power demands will allow us to achieve such levels of efficiency."

"The agreement with GE reinforces SAICA's position as a European leader both in efficiency and sustainability, key factors critical to the success in the global paper industry. GE’s capacity to comply with the tight schedule was critical in order to restart operation of the plant as early as possible."
