G E executes PIP upgrade at plant's two gas turbines

摘要

GE POWER AND Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) have successfully executed GE's 6B performance improvement package (PIP) upgrade on the first two out of six 6B gas turbines at the petrochemical facility in Eleme, Rivers State, Nigeria. The upgrade increased Indorama's plant output by 15 per cent per gas turbine, more than doubling the expected increase of six per cent. The upgrade will help extend the interval for combustion and hot gas path inspections, reducing overall maintenance costs. In addition, this project is expected to increase power plant availability of up to 3,960 hours over 16 years.
