LM6000s the answer to Western Mining`s energy strategy
- GE Marine & Industrial Engines, Jakarta (Indonesia)
- Stewart & Stevenson International, Inc., Perth (Australia)
Western Mining Corporation Ltd of Australia installed Stewart & Stevenson power generation packages with GE LM6000 gas turbines to reduce energy costs. The four LM6000 gas turbine-generator sets were sold by Stewart & Stevenson International, Inc of Houston, Texas, USA, and the LM6000 gas turbines were manufactured by GE Marine & Industrial Engines, Evendale, Ohio. These applications mark the first sale of Stewart & Stevenson gas turbine-generator packages in Australia, and one of the first uses of the LM6000 on this continent. WMC uses the equipment for cogeneration at three of the sites, with a percentage of the gas turbine exhaust energy used in the ore drying process or for low-grade steam production. 3 figs., 1 tab.
