Continuing evolution
that’s smarter every time
GE’s SeaSmart Offshore Package™ is a plug‑and‑play gas
turbine solution for mechanical drive or power generation
in the most challenging offshore environments.
Every generation of SeaSmart is a direct result of in-depth
focus groups with senior engineering teams from our
customers around the world. They cover everything from
the operating implications of different well fluid mixtures, to
layout restrictions of various rig and ship types, to specific
objectives for power, mechanical drive, emissions and
maintenance — any conceivable aspect can be introduced.
We then synthesize feedback and data from the separate
customer sessions and explore system-wide possibilities to
achieve the collective goals.
The latest package is our most highly integrated one yet,
with so much pre-assembly completed in our factory
with unparalleled quality metrics, that installation and
commissioning is faster than ever — typically less than 14
weeks. It also delivers higher availability and long-term
efficiency through a wide range of enhancements including
new modular maintenance features and our latest real-time
diagnostics capabilities.
The optimized design has fully integrated auxiliaries and
compact on-skid controls, resulting in the smallest SeaSmart
footprint yet. It’s also the lightest — we’ve eliminated
significant tonnage through expanded use of advanced
composite materials with proven corrosion resistance.
We’ve combined all these advantages with a wider range
of customization options to improve overall operability and
performance for each installation’s unique demands. Like
every generation of SeaSmart, this one is even smarter than
the last.

Faster installation Better fit Localized control

The complete package is designed
for single-lift installation, which cuts
installation time by about 30%. Everything
is pre-assembled, factory tested and
verified before delivery — that includes all
electronics, controls and other auxiliary
skids (such as liquid fuel and water wash
skids). The modularized design also
enhances operability and maintenance
performance.
Instead of steel, our new filter house is
made of advanced composite materials
proven in the aerospace and nautical
industries. This significantly reduces
weight and enables customization of the
design for particularly compact areas.
This major advance means SeaSmart is
now more widely available for offshore
vessels where filter house size has been a
limiting factor in the past. The new filter
house is also fully repairable on site and
the materials have excellent fire-retardant
properties.
A pre-assembled, local control room has
been added to the package. It contains
all the electronics, controls and HMI
necessary to operate the unit. Formerly,
these were located in a separate control
room elsewhere on the vessel. But
now, full control is within the SeaSmart
footprint, so everything is easier —
installation, startup, operation and
maintainability.

• 0.5% higher availability

Adaptation &
innovation
From each generation of SeaSmart to the next, we are truly delivering bigger things
in smaller and smarter packages.
Size and weight are critical factors offshore, so we continually explore new ways to
reduce them. Advanced composite materials are key to both the reduced package
weight and increased operating efficiency through minimized vibration, power
consumption and other advantages. As we carry each generation’s strongest design
traits forward, we also inject our latest rigorously tested and proven technologies
so maintainability, availability and performance keep improving too.
Enhanced modularization increases maintenance and upgrade ease as well as
customization opportunities. The optimized turbine enclosure simplifies access for
faster, regular generator maintenance, easier turbine replacement and upgrades as
technologies advance. Various other features like 4H lock-out, 8k BSI, fast turbine
exchange and on-line washing system contribute to simplified maintenance as well
as improved ergonomics and safety.
Fully integrated systems
SeaSmart brings the idea of integration to a whole new level.
Synthetic oil system, mineral oil system, starting system and
remote I/O are all on skid. The new, fully integrated control room
eliminates the need for a separate control room and external
connections ­— and it has been repositioned in the latest package
from the side to the front for further streamlining and improved
access. The benefits are widespread throughout installation, right
down to the final details — with 60% less cable laying and 40%
less interconnecting piping.
Flexibility at the core
Flexibility and assembly leadtime are both optimized with
a standard base frame design that accommodates various
configuration options. The package can include either an
20-34 MW LM2500/+/+G4 or a PGT25/+/+G4, each with two
configurations to choose from. Then, there are four value-adding
options available:
1. Electric starter
2. High flow on-line washing system
3. 4H lock-out
4. Advanced filter house

Compact filter house & inlet system

Improved flow
The enhanced inlet plenum design achieves smoother
air suction with less turbulence for overall optimized
flow. It is built with composite materials for significant
weight reduction, and is fully compatible with existing
GT inlet intakes.
On-line washing
This system provides one-minute
daily wash cycles to maintain
the compressor for optimized
efficiency.
Our new HEPA filtration system is 99.5% efficient at MPPS and
extremely compact for significant weight and cost savings.
The E12 HF pre-filters are completely sealed and hydrophobic,
eliminating 97% of water content so no demister is required. In
addition to improving efficiency, the new filter system design
decreases emissions and particle deposits.
Even the structure has been redesigned to improve overall
performance. Our latest filter house is five tons lighter than the
previous version, thanks to advanced new composite materials
that complement the new inlet system design for further
improvement.

Your choice of two
industry-leading turbines LM2500
This marine gas turbine is a simple-cycle, two-shaft, high-
performance engine that’s easy to install and maintain. It consists
of a gas generator, power turbine, fuel and lube oil pumps, fuel
control and speed governing system, associated inlet and exhaust
sections, lube and scavenge systems, as well as controls and
devices for starting and monitoring engine operation.
The simple modular design with split compressor casing
maximizes in-situ maintenance capabilities such as in-place
blade and vane replacement, in-place hot section maintenance
and accessible external fuel nozzles. Other features include
corrosion-resistant materials, minimized size, weight and space
requirements per horsepower, as well as high thermal efficiency,
low fuel and airflow per horsepower.
PGT25+G4
This 34 MW gas turbine consists of an enhanced LM2500+ G4 gas
generator coupled with a two-stage, high-speed power turbine
module. It delivers high efficiency and reliability, fuel flexibility
and low emissions, and power increases of 10–20% across a wide
range off-ISO conditions.
The turbine’s 6,100 rpm design enables direct coupling with
driven equipment to improve overall efficiency and availability.
Blade and stationary vane airfoil adjustments increase mass flow
in the gas generator. The HPT has blade cooling improvements
and material upgrades for higher temperatures, while changes to
the compressor discharge pressure seal optimizes rotor thrust
balance. For DLE applications, upgraded combustor heat shields
enable field replacement and easier maintenance.
