The SGT-500 industrial gas turbine is a highly dependable gas turbine with excellent fuel flexibility
It combines the reliability and robustness of an industrial design and low emission levels of the latest turbine technology for a wide variety of fuels and applications at low operational costs
The SGT-500 gas turbine has been serving the industrial power generation segment for over 50 years
Introduced in 1955, the turbine was designed for heavy oil operation under tough conditions
It is used widely in industrial power generation, marine as well as oil and gas applications, whether onshore or offshore, floating or fixed
Due to its large roomy combustors and low firing temperature, the SGT-500 has the capability to operate on a wide range of fuels
Experience includes gas and heavy fuel oils, naphtha, crude oil, high aromatic and hydrogen-rich gases, as well as gases with high content of sulfuric acid
The combustor and fuel system have the potential for easy adaptation to additional liquid and gaseous fuels, including the growing flora of environmentally friendly fuels
The SGT-500 can be equipped with several emissions reduction alternatives, including dry low emissions (DLE) combustion
Outstanding operational reliability
With world class start-up and operation reliability performance, the SGT-500 is an excellent solution for emergency power applications
Its low firing temperature contributes to an impressive maintenance program
At operation on full load the standard time between major overhauls is 80,000 hours
At 94% load the interval can be extended to 160,000 hours, equal to 18 years of operation
