The LM2500+G4 DLE U PT is a versatile gas turbine designed for a wide range of applications, including onshore and offshore power generation, gas pipeline compression, and LNG compression. It features Dry Low Emissions (DLE) technology, which reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to as low as 25 parts per million by volume (ppmv) at 15% oxygen, meeting stringent environmental standards.

In the oil and gas industry, production rates are closely linked to available horsepower. The LM2500+G4 DLE U PT offers higher power output, high reliability, and a lower initial cost per kilowatt, making it a cost-effective solution for energy-intensive operations.

This turbine has proven its capability to operate reliably in extreme ambient conditions, with running data demonstrating performance at temperatures as low as -50°F and start-up capability down to -40°F. This wide operational temperature range ensures dependable service in harsh environments.

Fuel flexibility is a key strength of the LM2500+G4 DLE U PT. It can seamlessly switch between various fuels—lean treated natural gas, rich offshore gas, propane, or diesel—without shutting down or losing efficiency. This flexibility supports energy security, allowing continuous operation even if the natural gas supply is interrupted. Additionally, the turbine can be adapted to burn alternative fuels like bioethanol and naphtha, further enhancing fuel options.

A notable advantage of aeroderivative gas turbines like the LM2500+G4 DLE U PT is their ability to operate on hydrogen blends, which produce no carbon emissions when combusted. Both new turbines and existing units can be converted for high hydrogen fuel use, supporting decarbonization goals.

Moreover, the LM2500+G4 DLE U PT is truly dual-fuel capable, able to switch from 100% natural gas to 100% propane without the need for pilot fuels. This contrasts with dual-fuel reciprocating engines, which typically require about 5% diesel during gas operation, increasing costs and emissions. The LM2500+G4 DLE U PT’s fuel flexibility, emission controls, and robust design make it a reliable and efficient choice for demanding mechanical drive and power generation needs in the oil and gas sector.

The 2″ Gas Metering Valve is designed to precisely control the flow of gas fuel in aero-derivative gas turbines, including the LM2500. By adjusting fuel delivery based on operating conditions, it maintains the optimal fuel-to-air ratio essential for safe, efficient, and reliable turbine operation.

Fuel metering valves act as the throttle control for gas turbines. Since turbines generate power by burning fuel mixed with compressed air, accurate regulation of this mixture directly impacts power output, efficiency, and emissions such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO).

This valve delivers exceptional accuracy within ±1% of the flow point, ensuring consistent fuel delivery and optimal combustion. It is built to perform reliably in demanding environments and meets safety standards including ATEX, PED, and UL, certifying it for use in hazardous and extreme conditions.

The fuel metering valve is a two-inch right-angle style valve commonly used on aero-derivative turbines. It integrates easily into existing systems without requiring hydraulic or electrical changes. With millions of hours of proven field performance, it offers dependable, precise fuel control that enhances turbine efficiency and reduces fuel consumption.

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 Bearing, Roller, Cylindrical No. 6R is a precision-engineered component used in LM2500 aero-derivative gas turbines commonly employed in the oil and gas sector. Installed at the No. 6R position, this cylindrical roller bearing supports the turbine’s rotor shaft by carrying radial loads and maintaining accurate shaft alignment during high-speed operation.

Its specialized roller design allows it to withstand intense mechanical stresses and thermal changes typical in demanding oil and gas environments. By reducing vibration and ensuring smooth rotation, the bearing contributes to stable and efficient turbine performance, which is critical for continuous operation in upstream, midstream, and downstream applications.

The No. 6R bearing’s role in maintaining precise shaft positioning supports the overall durability and reliability of LM2500 turbines used in gas compression, power generation, and offshore platforms, making it a key element in sustaining safe and efficient operations within the oil and gas industry.
