NovaLT16

Setting a new standard for 16 MW

class turbines in mechanical drive

and power generation applications

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. 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.

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.

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.

There’s no need for annual DLN tuning.

We perform an initial DLN tuning during

commissioning and on a four-year

basis thereafter (via remote connection

with GE Oil & Gas RM&D Centers) to

coincide with the gas generator swap.

Two-stage HP turbine section featuring

Single Crystal buckets on both stages – the

best available metallurgy for extended

durability.

Every unit comes with built-in

Predictivity™ Solutions to greatly

improve local team’s asset management

abilities while enabling fast and easy

expert support from the GE Oil & Gas

iCenters in Florence, Houston and Kuala

Lumpur – for ongoing performance

optimization.

Oil and starting systems are easily

accessible outside of the enclosure,

making routine maintenance more

ergonomic (lower noise, lower heat) for

the comfort and safety of the operator.

Wide package doors for simplified

engine removal with no structural

dismantling. Great attention was

devoted to making engine in/out

operations as easy and mistake-

proof as possible.

Control room location is up

to you – there’s an on-skid

control panel as standard and

an optional control panel for

a separate control room if

preferred.

Primary

Applications

Pipeline compression

The NovaLT16 power and output speed rating (7,800 rpm)

make it ideal for modern pipeline stations used for gas

transport worldwide.

Power generation

The NovaLT16 is widely applicable across a broad range

of oil and gas plants (exploration and production, gas

and oil treatment, etc.), as well as other industrial and

commercial uses.

It is particularly well suited to applications where

thermal power is recovered from the turbine exhaust.

The NovaLT16’s exhaust gas temperature is typically

490ºC, thus achieving 80% efficiency in combined

heat and power (CHP) applications.

Mechanical drive

Our engineering teams have also taken into

consideration the requirements for various

other applications across the oil and gas

industry, including gas lift, gas

re-injection and gas gathering.

Two-stage LP turbine with variable

geometry nozzle maintains high

efficiency and, together with the DLN

annular combustor, reduce emissions

over a wide operating range. In other

words, the machine is designed for

high efficiency at the ‘partial power

point’ at which the machine usually

operates – not just the rarely used

‘full power point.’

availability &

maintainability

The package is designed for

performance-enhancing connectivity

to minimize the need for worker activity

and reduce potential security issues and

operating costs. Standard items in every

NovaLT16 package include: combustion

dynamic monitoring, remote monitoring

and diagnostics hardware in the control

panel, built-in diagnostic software.

Compressor & combustion

• The axial compressor is an evolution of our MS5002E design

with one stage added (taking it from 11 to 12) for improved

efficiency – increasing the pressure ratio from 17:1 up to 19:1.

• There are three variable geometry stages (IGV, S1 and S2)

on the axial compressor for a wide speed range and surge

robustness.

• The ruggedized single annular combustor and 360° combustion

casing were developed from our GE5 unit – delivering a

compact and flexible design with reduced emissions.

• Adapted from our GE5 and leveraging experience from our

aeroderivative LM family, the 39 premixers with double

counter-rotating swirler deliver perfect air-fuel mixing plus

easy maintenance.

Turbine section

• The 1st and 2nd HP buckets are made of Single Crystal N4

material to ensure superior efficiency and durability while

eliminating the need for thermal barrier coatings.

• The LP turbine has a variable-geometry nozzle for higher

efficiency and improved emissions at part load (ideal for

pipeline applications with direct coupling) and a full 360°

casing for tight clearance control.

machine architecture

The NovaLT16 is designed to maximize production and minimize risk. The

product of decades of industry-proven GE technologies and expertise, it

combines our latest advances in design and materials with the evolutionary

adaptation of key features from GE turbines with more than a million

combined hours of operating experience in oil and gas applications. It is

therefore the best of both worlds – new and proven.
