MS6001FA Gas Turbines

Proven Performance

In a performance class all its own, the highly efficient MS6001FA (6FA) gas turbine is a mid-size version of the well-proven 7FA and 9FA. Designed for 50 or 60 Hz applications, the gear-driven 6FA answers the need for mid-size power blocks with high performance in combined heat and power applications.

Its output range, high exhaust energy, full packaging, and robust design make the 6FA ideally suited for a wide variety of applications, from cogeneration and district heating to pure power generation in combined cycle and Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC).

This high-speed gas turbine produces 75.9 MW of simple cycle power at 35% efficiency and 117.7 MW of combined cycle power at 54.7% net efficiency. The 6FA provides major fuel savings in base-load combined cycle operation over earlier mid-range machines and is adaptable to either single-shaft or multi-shaft configurations. In IGCC operation, gross plant efficiencies can reach up to 46%.

Like other F technology units, the 6FA provides the ability to burn a wide spectrum of fossil fuels, including gasified coal. Fuels can be switched after start-up without sacrificing performance. The Dry Low NOx combustion system is available, which can achieve nitrogen oxide emissions of 15 ppm when burning natural gas.

A two-thirds scale of the 7FA, the 6FA is a classic example of the GE philosophy of evolutionary design improvement. Backed with the F/FA fleet experience, GE expects the 6FA to surpass 95 percent availability.
