NovaLT16

Setting a new standard for 16 MW
class turbines in mechanical drive
and power generation applications

Our focus on technology development for oil and gas applications is at the
core of everything we do. GE Oil & Gas leverages the vast capability of the GE
global research organization to bring the best technology from a wide range of
industries into the oil and gas segment. We work closely with our customers to
create practical solutions to their most extreme operational challenges.

efficiency & flexibility

Our new 16.5 MW NovaLT16 gas turbine is designed to provide 37 per cent
mechanical efficiency for pipeline compression, power generation and oil
and gas plant compression to help meet increasing energy requirements
across the world.

The NovaLT16 is a two-shaft gas turbine specifically designed
for mechanical drive and power generation in oil and gas and
industrial applications. With a power turbine speed of 7,800 rpm, it
is ideally suited for pipeline compression – with direct coupling to
the latest generation of PCL pipeline compressors featuring high
performance stages and 89% or higher compressor efficiency.

It is full of exceptional advantages for any operation – including
up to 99% availability. It is designed for a 35,000-hour mean
time between maintenance, which translates into four years of
non-stop running for the gas generator module and eight years
for the power turbine module.

Adding to the benefit of long intervals without maintenance, the
NovaLT16 also enables extremely short intervals for conducting
maintenance activities. In fact, the modular maintenance
philosophy is so fully optimized that a cold-condition engine can
be swapped in just 24 hours.

Beyond the mechanics of the turbine itself, the complete
package is designed with the ultimate performance
and support features as standard – fully equipped with
integrated monitoring and diagnostics sensors and remote
tuning capability.

Working with purpose

From manufacturing and testing to installation and lifecycle support, our people have
a sense of purpose that never falters. And wherever in the world they work — at our
own advanced facilities, a customer’s site or a remote location under the most extreme
conditions — their commitment to the environment, health and safety, quality and
integrity is unrelenting.

Integrity

Doing it right and striving to do it better is part of our culture. That means demanding
more of our processes and our technologies and operating with honesty and integrity,
whatever the challenge.

Environmental Health & Safety

We work hard to mitigate risk and consider people, communities and the natural world
in everything we do. That applies to everything from the layout of our workshops to
GE’s global ecomagination program, dedicated to delivering products that are better for
business and the environment.

Quality

Driven by practical industry challenges, our innovative solutions build on proven
technologies and undergo rigorous testing and qualification. Our objective is to deliver
improvements you can measure — in efficiency, reliability, availability and performance.
