The LM2500+ gas turbine delivers increased power and improved efficiency by building on the proven LM2500 platform. Designed to meet the demanding needs of industrial and offshore operations, it offers a compact, reliable solution for power generation and mechanical drive applications.

The LM2500+ enhances the original LM2500 design by adding a 17-stage high-pressure axial compressor. This additional compressor stage increases airflow and raises the engine’s pressure ratio, resulting in roughly 20% more power output. The turbine uses a ring combustion chamber with advanced dry low emissions (DLE) technology, producing very low levels of NOx and CO emissions to meet strict environmental standards.

A key feature of the LM2500+ is its low-speed turbine section, which is specifically designed for offshore platforms and other space-restricted environments. This turbine’s compact size and modular design allow for easy maintenance, with split compressor casing and in-place blade replacement that reduce downtime and operational complexity. The turbine is factory-tested and pre-wired for straightforward installation, supporting both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power generation without the need for additional equipment like reducers.

Operators benefit from the LM2500+’s enhanced power and fuel efficiency, which help reduce operational costs and improve performance in applications such as combined heat and power systems, industrial power generation, underground gas storage, and gas pipelines. Its modular, space-saving design fits well in offshore installations where size and weight are critical factors.

the LM2500+ ensures continuous performance and maximizes uptime, making it a trusted solution for critical power needs across various industrial and offshore applications.

The LM2500 Gas Turbine is a high-efficiency power unit designed for use in industrial, marine, and utility applications. It’s commonly used for grid support, combined heat and power, and in mobile or remote power installations.

The turbine uses a single-rotor gas generator that can be connected to a power turbine. Inside, it includes a 16-stage compressor, an annular combustor, and a two-stage high-pressure turbine—to deliver strong performance in demanding environments.

Built for flexibility, the LM2500 is well-suited for operations that require frequent start-and-stop cycles. It can ramp up from a cold shutdown to full power in under five minutes, making it a reliable option for fast, on-demand power delivery.

Adding to its versatility, the LM2500 supports a wide range of fuels—including natural gas, diesel, aviation fuel, naphtha, LPG, ethane, ethanol, biodiesel, and more. This fuel flexibility makes it easy to integrate into different operating environments.

Its proven adaptability and performance have made the LM2500 the most widely used gas turbine in the 25–37 megawatt range.

In addition to high efficiency and reliability, the LM2500 delivers low emissions—even in challenging environments or when water availability is limited. With control system redundancy and several configuration options, it offers a customizable solution for dependable, efficient power generation.

The LM2500 exhaust system is an essential part of the LM2500 gas turbine, designed to handle the hot gases produced during turbine operation. Made from high-quality stainless steel, it is built to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh conditions, ensuring long-lasting durability.

The main purpose of the exhaust system is to safely direct these hot gases away from the turbine while reducing back pressure. Back pressure is the resistance the turbine faces when pushing out exhaust gases—lower back pressure means the turbine can run more efficiently, producing more power with less stress on its components.

This exhaust system is carefully designed to match the specific needs of the LM2500 turbine, ensuring smooth and efficient gas flow. It often works together with silencers or emission controls to release gases safely into the atmosphere while meeting environmental standards.

You would look for a new or replacement LM2500 exhaust system when installing a new turbine, upgrading to improve performance, replacing worn or damaged parts, or meeting updated environmental regulations. Choosing the right exhaust system is crucial because it directly affects the turbine’s performance, reliability, and maintenance costs. A well-designed exhaust system helps keep the turbine running efficiently and reduces the chance of costly downtime—critical factors for operations in oil and gas industries where reliability and efficiency are vital.

The 6″ Butterfly Bleed Air Valve is designed to regulate the flow of compressed bleed air from the compressor section of large gas turbines, such as the LM2500. This valve uses a butterfly-shaped disc permanently attached to a robust shaft, allowing precise control over airflow to reduce pressure and temperature within the turbine system.

With an effective flow area of 19.1 square inches max, this valve accommodates higher volumes of bleed air, making it suitable for turbines with greater airflow requirements. It features a fast response time—less than 320 milliseconds for a full stroke—ensuring timely adjustments to changing operating conditions. The valve’s bearings are engineered for high cycle service, providing durability and reliability even under frequent opening and closing cycles.

The 6″ valve helps protect turbine components by managing thermal loads and maintaining optimal compressor performance, which in turn improves overall turbine efficiency and extends equipment life. It is commonly used in oil and gas applications where maintaining safe, efficient, and reliable turbine operation is critical. This valve also serves as a drop-in replacement in existing turbine systems, requiring no hydraulic or electrical modifications, simplifying installation and reducing downtime.
