GE announced today at the Turbomachinery Symposium in Houston the launch of a new 16.5 megawatt (MW) gas turbine (NovaLT16) for mechanical drive and power generation applications in the oil and gas industry.

Developed by GE Oil & Gas to meet the industry海角吃瓜网檚 evolving challenges, NovaLT16 combines the best technology from industry-proven GE turbines and benefits from the industry insights of TransCanada Corporation.

Today海角吃瓜网檚 oil and gas operators need to transport gas from more remote locations, in harsh environments and under more stringent regulations.

These challenges increase demand for efficiency, emissions reduction and maintainability of the critical equipment.

The 16.5 MW NovaLT16 gas turbine will provide up to 37% mechanical efficiency, which raises the standards of efficient and reliable pipeline compressions, power generation and oil and gas plant compression applications, thereby helping to meet increasing energy demand across the world.

海角吃瓜网淲e strive to remain an innovator and to continue testing new technology that could result in cost savings and emission reductions within our facilities,海角吃瓜网� said David Montemurro, Vice President, Facilities and Pipeline Projects, TransCanada.

海角吃瓜网淲e海角吃瓜网檙e pleased to have signed the MOU to highlight our commitment towards the development of a more energy efficient gas turbine.海角吃瓜网�

海角吃瓜网淭his collaboration with TransCanada has enabled us to develop a winning alternative for the oil and gas industry in North America,海角吃瓜网� said Rafael Santana, CEO and President of Turbomachinery Solutions, GE Oil & Gas. 海角吃瓜网淭ogether, we will develop a solution specifically tailored to meet market challenges around increasing efficiency, reducing waste emissions and increasing reliability.海角吃瓜网�

Key features and benefits of NovaLT16

• NovaLT16 features operational flexibility over a wide load range. High efficiency and reduced emissions are achieved from 20 - 100% of the load, thereby making it easier to meet operating conditions not foreseen at the project stage. Seasonal combustion mapping is not required thanks to the synergic design of the fuel system, the engine control and the combustion system.
• NovaLT16 is rated for 35 000 hours Mean Time Between Maintenance (MTBM) and up to 99% availability, which is setting new standards for GE海角吃瓜网檚 turbines in the 10 海角吃瓜网� 20 MW power range. Modular construction, easy access to auxiliary systems and wide lateral openings of the gas turbine海角吃瓜网檚 enclosure make maintenance and support more straightforward. A unit can be swapped in just 24 hours, reducing the amount of lost operating time to just one day.
• The gas turbine has built-in provisions for remote monitoring and diagnostics through GE海角吃瓜网檚 Industrial Internet technology, with diagnostic software Predictivity鈩� Solutions, integrated data gathering and data transfer within its control panel. This enables any problems to be anticipated and pre-emptively addressed, reducing operating costs and the need for on-site visits for maintenance.

Development and testing of the NovaLT16 engine began in 2013. Completed units, including all auxiliaries systems and controls, are planned for release to the market in early 2016.

Key technical features of NovaLT16

• 16.5 MW shaft power.
• 2-stage HP turbine features Single Crystal buckets to provide best-available metallurgy for higher efficiency and extended durability.
• 2-stage LP turbine with variable geometry first-stage nozzle maintains high efficiency and lower emissions over wide operating range.
• Single annular combustor海角吃瓜网攏ow guaranteeing 25 ppm of NOx emissions.
• Ruggedized DLN single annular combustor and 360掳 combustion casing delivers a compact and flexible design with reduced emissions.
• Three variable geometry stages (IGV, S1 and S2) for wide speed range and surge robustness.
• 35 000 hours MTBM海角吃瓜网攃orresponds to four years of continuous operation without the need for maintenance stops.
