SGT6-5000F Heavy-duty gas turbine (60 Hz)

The proven SGT6-5000F gas turbine offers economical power generation with fast start-up and quick load changes for peak, intermediate, or base load. The fleet of SGT6-5000F gas turbines operating worldwide demonstrates an excellent reliability of 99%.

Its outstanding fuel flexibility makes it a great choice for many applications in the oil and gas industry. With only single-digit NOₓ emissions (< 9 ppmvd), the SGT6-5000F provides world-class emission performance.

The SGT6-5000F is able to burn a wide range of fuels including natural gas, LNG, syngas, ethane, propane, Arabian Super Light crude oil, distillate oil, condensate, Arabian Extra Light crude oil, biodiesel, alcohols, Jet-A oil, and kerosene.

The engine offers dual fuel capability and tolerates fuels within a wide Wobbe range.

The combustion system is able to handle different fuel compositions, e.g. contents of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) of up to 4,000 ppm, or hydrogen (H₂) of up to 30 vol%. Its system can switch over quickly between fuel gas and fuel oil and vice versa.

Short installation times

The gas turbine package for the SGT6-5000F consists of the core turbine, the generator and auxiliary systems. We offer you a standardized basic design with options ideally geared to your specific requirements and market enrvironment. This approach ensures that your operating costs are as low as possible while at the same time providing maximum flexibility for your individual requirements.

The SGT6-5000F fires up

SGT6-5000F-based combined cycle plants have the capability for fast start-up. With these plants, you can achieve combined cycle base load within 5 min for hot start.
High load gradients (40 MW/min) allow for fast load changes. With excellent peaking capability, and high part load efficiency complying with emission regulations down to lower part load, this is your profitable solution for competitive energy markets with fluctuating power demand.
