Two models, lots of power

6F gas turbine features and benefits

With its combination of high efficiency and low emissions, the 6F gas turbine is a reliable, environmentally-friendly choice.

6F.03 and 6F.01 gas turbines

The 6F.03 includes GE’s latest in combustion technology for superior flexibility, turndown, and fuel performance. It draws on the best of GE’s scaled H and F-Class technology, offers quick installation, and together with its exhaust energy profile, is an excellent choice for a variety of applications and environments. The 6F.01 gas turbine is a compact yet powerful driver of combined-cycle and cogeneration plants, with a versatile configuration offered in either cold end drive for enhanced output, or hot end drive for repowering existing 6B power plants.

Proven experience

The 6F.03 has over 185 units currently in use worldwide, operating in more than 35 countries across Asia, China, Europe, Latin and North America, The Middle East and North Africa. The 6F.03 has accumulated over 13 million operating hours over a span of nearly 25 years, while the 6F.01 gas turbine has over 160,000 hours and 1,700 starts of fleet operating experience over the past four years.

Fuel flexibility gives you more options

Capable of operating on a wide range of fuels like natural gas, distillate, and synthetic, the 6F.03 can achieve turndown to 35% load using Dry Low NOx (DLN) 2.6 combustion. This DLN 2.6 combustion system enables lower emissions—less than 15 ppm NOx or 9 ppm CO—and 32,000-hour combustion inspection intervals.

6F.01 gas turbine additional features

The 6F.01’s 12-stage compressor provides 3D aerodynamics for high efficiency, removable blades for high reliability, cold end drive with axial exhaust for high efficiency, and 64,000-hour major inspection intervals.

Customer stories

KOMIPO’s LNG island generation: A first for GE in Asia

The Korea Midland Power Company (KOMIPO) was seeking a small block, high efficiency power solution to burn imported LNG on Korea’s Jeju Island, a top tourist destination. The region’s small power grid cannot accommodate large H-class or F-class technology, even when burning LNG. Featuring two 6F.03 gas turbines, minimal greenhouse gas emissions and a low LCOE, the Jeju LNG combined-cycle power plant is expected to serve KOMIPO’s long-term operational needs, supplying about 20% of the total power demand to the Jeju region.
