Combining power, efficiency, emissions control, and fuel flexibility, the LM2500+ DLE supports effective and compliant power generation in a variety of operational settings.

The LM2500XPRESS+G5 DLE UPT is a modular aeroderivative gas turbine system built for fast, flexible, and efficient power generation in both onshore and offshore environments. It is particularly well-suited for applications across LNG facilities, gas pipelines, gas processing plants, and general power generation, including electricity production at both 50 and 60 Hz, without the need for a speed reducer.

The "+G5" designation refers to its fifth-generation power turbine, offering the highest output and efficiency in the 20–40 MW class. It supports both high-speed and low-speed power turbine configurations, allowing integration into a variety of grid or mechanical drive systems.

At its core, the G5 includes a high-pressure compressor derived from the LM2500+G4, now redesigned for longer service life. In a simple cycle, it achieves up to 41% efficiency, which is notable for a turbine of this size class. The system can start from cold and reach load in about five minutes, making it ideal for rapid-response applications.

The unit is built for speed and simplicity. It’s shipped in preassembled modules, with a compact footprint that helps reduce installation time.

The Dry Low Emissions (DLE) system supports environmental compliance without requiring water or steam injection, simplifying operations and reducing resource demands.

Altogether, the LM2500XPRESS+G5 DLE UPT provides a practical solution for projects that need reliable, fast, and efficient power without a complex setup.

The LM2500+G4 SAC 50Hz Simple Cycle is a fourth-generation aeroderivative gas turbine of the LM2500. Designed for industrial power applications, including those in the oil and gas sector, it delivers more output and greater thermal efficiency while retaining the ease of maintenance and high reliability the LM2500 series is known for.

In a simple cycle configuration, the gas turbine generates power directly by expanding hot gases through the turbine stages, without recovering heat for additional power generation. This design is favored for its simplicity, lower capital cost, faster start-up, and suitability for mobile or remote applications.

The LM2500+G4 improves upon its predecessor by increasing airflow and turbine cooling capacity, allowing for higher operating temperatures. These changes result in up to 40% thermal efficiency in simple cycle mode—an impressive figure for this class of turbine. This translates to improved fuel usage and reduced operational costs over time.

The engine features a Single Annular Combustor (SAC), which supports stable combustion with low emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO). The combustor is also designed for durability and long life, with easily replaceable fuel nozzles and a thermal barrier coating for resistance to high temperatures and corrosion.

Its two-spool design means the engine has no cold start limitations, making it well-suited for harsh or variable environments. The power turbine and gas generator can be separated, allowing for easier in-module repairs and less downtime.

Overall, the LM2500+G4 SAC 50Hz Simple Cycle offers a balance of power, efficiency, and maintainability, making it an attractive solution for power generation and mechanical drive needs in industrial, onshore, and offshore oil and gas operations.

The LM2500 is a multi-shaft gas turbine featuring a free-spinning power turbine, making it well-suited for dynamic and high-demand environments such as those found in oil and gas operations. In this design, the high-pressure turbine and compressor are mechanically independent from the low-pressure power turbine. This separation allows the power turbine, which drives the electric generator or mechanical load, to respond rapidly to changes in load demand. Its ability to accelerate quickly makes it ideal for applications where maintaining grid stability or mechanical output is critical. In scenarios where frequency fluctuations occur, the free power turbine can quickly compensate, helping to stabilize the grid and ensure smoother operation of all connected systems.

In its standard configuration, the LM2500 is equipped with a six-stage, low-speed power turbine. This turbine operates at a nominal speed of 3600 rpm and is designed to deliver reliable shaft power in steady-state conditions, making it particularly effective for electric power generation or mechanical drive in pipeline and process operations.

For applications requiring greater flexibility or higher continuous output speeds, the LM2500+G4 variant offers enhanced capabilities. It is available with either the standard six-stage, low-speed power turbine or an alternative two-stage high-speed power turbine. The high-speed variant is engineered for mechanical drive and other demanding industrial uses, with a design speed of 6100 rpm and an operating range from 3050 to 6400 rpm. This configuration supports continuous high-speed shaft output where needed and is particularly beneficial for compressors and other rotating equipment in oil and gas facilities.

Both the six-stage and two-stage power turbines can be operated over a cubic load curve, providing the adaptability required for variable load profiles commonly encountered in oil and gas operations. This flexibility, combined with the LM2500’s rapid response characteristics and modular design, makes it a dependable choice for critical infrastructure in upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors.

The 4″ butterfly bleed air valve plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of compressed air, called bleed air, from the compressor section of a gas turbine. This airflow regulation helps maintain safe and efficient turbine operation by managing pressure and protecting internal components.

This valve is built with a strong bearing shaft and specially designed bearings that handle frequent cycles, ensuring a longer service life and less maintenance. It includes a fail-safe feature that automatically opens the valve if a problem occurs, protecting the turbine from damage. With a quick response time—fully opening or closing in less than 320 milliseconds—it reacts fast to changing engine conditions. The valve’s electric components are also better insulated from heat, improving reliability even in harsh environments.

What makes the 4″ valve stand out is its ideal size and performance. It offers greater airflow than smaller valves, yet remains compact and easier to fit than larger ones, making it perfect for medium-duty applications where space and precise control are important.

Importantly, this valve is designed as a direct, plug-and-play replacement for existing models. It requires no changes to the hydraulic or electrical systems, allowing for quick upgrades without downtime. This seamless fit and reliable operation help ensure your gas turbine runs smoothly and efficiently, reducing costs and increasing uptime.
