Power and speed flexibility
A key design feature is its free power turbine—enabling high-efficiency power and speeds over a wide range of ambient conditions.
Optimized package design
The LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbine‘s modular package design enables shorter manufacturing cycles and faster installation; and its compact footprint helps meet stringent space requirements.
Maintenance and cost advantages
This gas turbine helps reduce CAPEX in the LNG industry because it doesn’t need a helper motor, and the longer maintenance intervals help reduce OPEX.
