recovery application, combined cycle and
mechanical drive. It can be installed fast for
quick near-term capacity.
The MS6001B is a performance proven 40 MW
class gas turbine, designed for reliable 50/60 Hz
power generation and 50,000 hp class mechanical
drive service. With availability well documented at
96.2% and reliability at 99.2%, it is the popular
choice for efficient, low installed cost power
generation or prime movers in mid-range service.
The 6B is recognized as rugged and reliable to
handle the multiple start-ups required for peak
load service. It can accommodate a variety of
fuels and is well suited to IGCC.
In combined cycle operation the 6B is a solid
performer at nearly 50% efficiency. It is also a
flexible choice for cogeneration applications
capable of producing a thermal output ranging
from 20 to 400 million Btu/hr.
The 6B is one of the most versatile and widely
used gas turbines ever manufactured. With over
900 units in service, it has accumulated more
than 40 million operating hours, representing the
widest range of applications: simple cycle, heat

Like all GE heavy-duty gas turbines, the 6B has
earned a solid reputation for high reliability and
environmental compatibility. With a Dry Low
NOx combustion system, the 6B is capable of
achieving less than 15 ppm NOx on natural gas.
With its excellent fuel efficiency, low cost per
horsepower and high horsepower per square
foot, the MS6001B is an excellent fit for selec-
tive mechanical applications.
