Siemens presents new lightweight aero-derivative gas turbine for the oil and gas industry. The Industrial RB211-GT30 is designed for the needs of the oil and gas industry and its offshore applications in particular. The machine is based on the proven Industrial RB211 gas turbine from the former Rolls-Royce Energy portfolio.
The Industrial RB211 has accumulated over 34 million hours in service. The Industrial RB211-GT30 gas turbine drives a two-pole AC generator at either 60 Hz or 50 Hz with no need for a gearbox. The package has a new lightweight construction that is 30% smaller and lighter than its predecessor. It is designed specifically for offshore duty, with a three-point base mount and torque tube design. The complete gas turbine can be removed from either side of the package and exchanged in less than 24 hours. The auxiliary systems are functionally unchanged.
