About the GE LM6000

The GE LM6000 is a high-efficiency aero-derivative gas turbine derived from the CF6 aircraft engine. Operating in the 40–58 MW range, it delivers some of the highest simple-cycle efficiencies available in its class—up to 42%—making it a preferred choice for peaking power, base load generation, and offshore oil and gas compression.

Buying a Used LM6000 — What to Know

Used LM6000 turbines typically range from $3M to $12M depending on hours, variant, and configuration. Key factors: fired hours, major inspection status (MI, HGP overhaul), inlet configuration, and whether the package includes the gearbox, generator, and inlet/exhaust systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical operating life of an LM6000?

With proper maintenance, LM6000 turbines routinely achieve 100,000+ fired hours. GE's on-condition maintenance model means life is determined by inspection findings rather than a fixed calendar.

What overhaul intervals apply to the LM6000?

Hot gas path (HGP) inspections typically occur every 25,000 fired hours or 1,500 starts. Major inspections (MI) at 50,000 hours. Actual intervals depend on fuel type and operating conditions.

Can an LM6000 run on diesel or dual fuel?

Most LM6000 packages are configured for natural gas. Dual-fuel (liquid backup) configurations exist and are common in remote or island-mode applications.

How long does delivery take on a used LM6000?

Inventory units can ship in 60–180 days depending on packaging, inspection requirements, and export logistics. Some brokers have ready-to-ship packages available.
