General Electric Frame 6B.03 gas turbine is the main solution for power generation for oil refineries, light and medium industries, cogeneration plants.
A large number of these machines in the world have a total operating time of about 55 million hours with 99% reliability. These figures make the Frame 6B.03 one of the most cost-effective power generation solutions.
The unit features dry nitrogen oxide suppression technology, which makes it possible to use not only natural gas and liquid fuels, but also low-calorie gases for combustion.
GE Frame 6B.03 characteristics
The GE Frame 6B.03 gas turbine unit is characterized by the following features:
-
- Electrical output: 44 MW;
- Gross efficiency: 33.6 %;
- Emission of harmful emissions: nitrogen oxides (NOx avg. to 15%O2) – 4 ppm, carbon oxides (CO avg. to 15%O2) – 25 ppm;
- Built for extreme conditions – it can operate with multiple starts, can operate in stand-alone mode and even has black start capability for energy dependent power systems;
-
- Proven technology used in a wide range of applications – from simple cycle to cogeneration and from combined cycle to mechanical drive;
- The three-stage turbine is equipped with a hot gas path improvement package that includes abrasive coating, membrane brush nozzle seals and improved aerodynamics;

- The exhaust energy of 289 MBtu/h at 549 °C can generate large quantities of steam with pressures up to 110 bar for industrial steam without additional firing;
- Flange to flange exchange option;
- 6B.03 is supplied in a pre-assembled gas turbine housing with accessories for easy transportation and quick field installation;
- Former names: Frame 6B, 6B 3-series, 6B-3, 6581 (B), 6571 (B), 6561 (B), 6551 (B), 6541 (b), 6531 (B), 6521 (B), PG6581B, PG6571B, PG6561B, PG6551B, PG6541B, PG6541B, PG6531B, PG6521B, 6B PIP, MS6001 (B)).
The main advantages of General Electric Frame 6B.03 GTU over other models include the ability to operate in extreme conditions and remote areas, the possibility of multiple starts for seasonal CHPPs without loss of reliability, easy transportation and simple installation.
DMEnergy offers a full range of spare parts and services for Frame 6 industrial gas turbines, including rotor and stator blades, flame tubes and flame spigots. All structural components can be replaced, upgraded or modified
Today’s advances in gas turbine technology are highly applicable to the GE Frame 6 Series turbines. The judicious use of advanced equipment and control systems can increase power output, reduce NOx and CO emissions, improve efficiency, extend inspection intervals, improve reliability and operability, and modify exhaust and exhaust gas temperatures.
It is possible to overhaul and/or upgrade the turbine to significantly higher performance than the unit at the time of initial installation.
