Three MW Power Boost on LM 6000 in Mexico with MeeFog
Gas Turbine Wet CompressionProcter & Gamble in Mexico installed a MeeFog evaporative cooling system in their LM 6000 gas turbine in 2006. In 2013 they expanded their system by adding another pump and additional nozzles. The Meefog skid has two pumps and provides five stages of fogging, producing a 3 MW power boost.
