Rotor life management solutions
Myanmar Lighting owns a 230 MW combined-cycle gas power plant located in Ngan Tae, Mawlamyine that is powered by three 6B gas turbines and one LM2500 gas turbine supplied by GE that have been in operation since 2014. Knowing that the 6B gas turbine rotor end life was approaching in 2022, the customer needed a long-term solution to ensure that the plant could continue to support the growth and needs of the people of Myanmar.
Instead of a routine upgrade, GE proposed a 6B rotor total life management solution to enable the operators to make the most of cycle times for parts manufacturing, improve outage labor efficiencies and utilize a rotor concept that will reduce overall costs.
