and 14 centrifugal compressors for the main
refrigerant train, as well as one gas turbine
generator in addition to the existing Train 1
power system. The LM6000PF+ turbine is
highly efficient, cost-effective and flexible in
operation, maximizing efficiency and helping
to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
