request info call 303-809-1189 available now
The GE Vernova LM6000 is a 51–57 mW aeroderivative gas turbine with over 40 million operating hours and more than 1,200 units shipped worldwide. Derived from aircraft engine technology, it delivers up to 41% simple-cycle efficiency with greater than 99% reliability and availability.
Its 5-minute start time and broad fuel flexibility — covering natural gas, diesel, LPG, ethanol, and 100% hydrogen — make it one of the most capable and versatile turbines in the 40–60 mW class for power generation applications globally.
Why aren’t we more specific about price/quantity/source? Most of the generators we offer are from companies that need to unload their equipment quietly, because of canceled projects or failed financing. We are only allowed to list them on the condition that we not display identifying information. If you want more details, contact us.
