6B.03 GAS TURBINE (50 Hz/60 Hz)

INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH, FIELD-PROVEN RELIABILITY

The rugged, reliable 6B.03 heavy duty gas turbine is a popular choice for
refineries, natural gas liquefaction power, combined heat and power (CHP) and
industrial power applications. Its ability to operate in island mode, coupled with
its 94.6 percent availability, make the 6B.03 gas turbine an ideal solution for
remote installations and extreme operating conditions far from the grid. With
99 percent reliability, proven and tested with more than 55 million operating hours,
GEs 6B.03 gas turbines provide cost-effective power you can count on.

All of our gas turbines share the common heritage of

jet engine technology pioneered by GE in the first half
of the 20th century. They are typically categorized as
either heavy duty (sometimes also called frame) or
aeroderivative gas turbines, although some turbines
recently have adopted features of both design types.
In general, the differences between the aeroderivative
and heavy duty gas turbines are weight, size, combustor
type, and turbine design. Heavy duty gas turbines are
usually field constructed and maintained in place,
whereas aeroderivative gas turbines are designed to
allow for quick replacement of the entire engine when
maintenance is required.

GEs portfolio of heavy duty and aeroderivative gas

turbines helps provide a sense of certainty in an
uncertain world, delivering operational flexibility and
performance needed to adapt to a rapidly evolving
power generation environment. With gas turbine
products ranging in individual output from 22 MW to
519 MW, GE has a solution to reliably and efficiently
deliver the power needed by utility power generators,
industrial operators, and communities. Even in remote
locations and harsh conditions, you can count on GE to
deliver a gas turbine that will meet your needs.
