Consistent with GE's evolutionary design philosophy, the 6C incorporates technologies that have been validated in service worldwide. This evolutionary approach ensures users of the 6C that they are receiving advanced but well-proven technology. The Frame 6C builds on the experience and performance of GE's Frame 6B technology, proven in more then 45 million hours of service, and also incorporates key features of GE's advanced F technology.

The turbine includes components that provide high reliability and maintainability, such as a 12-stage compressor with fewer parts and removable blades and vanes. NOx emissions are limited to 15 ppm dry when operating on natural gas, and 42 ppm when burning light distillate with water injection.

Improved operability features include less than 50 percent turndown while maintaining emissions guarantees, fast and reliable starts in 13 minutes, and three stages of compressor guide vanes for high efficiency at part load. The 6C also features an F-class modular arrangement and a Mark VI Speedtronic control system.
