Formerly known as the Frame 9E, GE Gas Power’s 9E gas turbine can help decrease costs and increase revenue for your plant.

From the desert to the tropics to the arctic, the rugged 9E.03 heavy-duty gas turbine provides essential power and performs in a vast number of duty cycles and applications. The 9E.04 gas turbine provides increased power and performance while maintaining the simplicity and operational strengths of the 9E.03.

9E gas turbine features and benefits

The 9E is a robust, proven platform that helps deliver high availability, reliability, and durability while lowering the overall cost-per-kilowatt.

Providing the widest range of fuels experience

9E gas turbines can use more than 52 types of fuel— almost the entire fuel spectrum—and can even switch fuels while running under full load. Our 9E turbines operate on fuels with contaminants, natural gas, light and heavy distillate oil, naphtha, crude, residual oil, syngas, and steel mill/blast furnace gases.

Rapidly getting you from decision to delivery

With order to simple-cycle operation demonstrated in as few as six months, and fast-start and load capabilities, the 9E gas turbine has quick installation and operational flexibility.

9E.04 gas turbine: Enhanced power and performance

The 9E.04 gas turbine has multiple features that help reduce fuel costs and increase revenue, such as a 145 MW output and 37% simple-cycle efficiency.

A proven performer

The 9E gas turbine utilizes proven E- and F-class materials, fired at lower E-class temperatures for hot gas path, with cooling and sealing improvements, improved clearances and improved work splits between stages.

It’s a strong performer in a variety of scenarios, including simple-cycle, combined-cycle, and industrial CHP and mechanical drive applications in a broad range of industries, including electrical utilities/independent power producers, industrial oil and gas refineries, IWPP, aluminum industry for smelting, steel mills, and LNG.

Lowered emissions and enhanced features

The 9E gas turbine boasts Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustion with 5ppm NOx* and 25 ppm CO with around 30% Modified Wobbe Index (MWI) flexibility, and emissions standards that help meet World Bank requirements, including dual-fuel heavy fuel oil plants.

The 9E.04 gas turbine features a new 4-stage turbine module that fits within the same footprint as an already installed 9E gas turbine unit. Additionally, it has a 17-stage compressor with corrosion-resistant material, coatings, and inner barrel brush seals that can enhance compressor durability. Its compact footprint helps it create an easy incremental power addition when phased capacity expansion is required.
