Brazil Service Center

GE’s Brazil Service center in Petropolis is the latest of 18 global service centers for the Aeroderivative Gas Turbines Business worldwide. This Service Center opening is another example of how we are broadening our global customer support capabilities.The Brazil Service Center was built to help GE meet the needs of its growing aeroderivative gas turbine customer base in Latin America. GE’s

gas turbines help businesses and communities benefit from the ability of natural gas to deliver clean, efficient distributed energy.

GE’s, US$10 million facility in Petropolis is dedicated to providing localized service for the aeroderivative and oil and gas sectors in Latin

America. Within the region, Brazil is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, having an increased demand for power generation. GE’s new

Brazil Service Center will help ensure that GE’s customers in the region have reliable power generation equipment for industrial, municipal and

mechanical applications.

GE’s Brazil Service Center opening is another example of how GE is broadening its global customer support capabilities—continuing

GE’s 90 years of growth in Brazil. It follows on the heels of a recent announcement that GE is enhancing its global business presence

with the opening of a multimillion Euro expansion of its aeroderivative gas turbine service center in Rheden, Netherlands.

As the first dedicated facility for servicing the aeroderivative fleet in Brazil, GE’s Brazil Service Center is located in the city of Petropolis,

in the state of Rio de Janeiro, on 1.9 acres of land, and it services natural gas, liquid fuel, biofuels and sugarcane-based ethanol-fired

machines. The 2,044 square-meter building provides the following benefits:

• Services and logistics processes

• In-country shop and component repair capabilities as applicable (LM2500/LM6000)

• Complex assembly support

• 100+ unit capability in five years

• Addresses customer localization requirements—engine and component repairs and future localized equipment content

The new facility provides “Level 4” service1, including full module and component repair, for the power

generation industry, as well as for the country’s growing oil and gas sector.

1 GE’s “Level 2” service facilities handle basic field and module repairs while “Level 4” centers perform component repairs.

GE customers benefit from a wellspring of operating experience

and service expertise that is unmatched in the industry.

Repowering existing gas turbine equipment allows retention

of existing plant infrastructure to reduce costs while achieving

substantial improvements in thermal efficiency, power output,

availability, emissions, fuel efficiency and capital cost savings.

Contractual Service Agreements (CSAs)Our contractual service agreements (CSAs) create a customized

maintenance solution by integrating OEM technical knowledge

and remote monitoring and diagnostics with field service, parts,

and repairs to protect your investment, improve operational

productivity and reduce costs. The CSA is a highly customizable

product designed for the wide range of aeroderivative

applications, packaging designs, operational demands

and geographic locations. Options include full or partial

maintenance cost risk transfer, engine-only up to full plant

coverage, thermal and operational performance guarantees,

integrated access to lease and rotable assets, onsite technical

support, comprehensive maintenance planning and a full range

of remote services support.

Field ServicesGE’s aeroderivative Global Field Services network offers world-

class service and support that can anticipate and respond

to customer needs throughout the product life of their GE LM

engines and packages. Offering the highest quality parts, tools

and technical support, these teams are dedicated to reducing

downtime and achieving a lower cost of operation. Field

Service offerings include periodic inspections of the engine

and package, hot sections, generator test and inspection, trim

balances, vibration surveys, performance testing, controls

calibration, and all Level 1 and 2 maintenance.

Asset ManagementGE’s aeroderivative lease pool program is designed to help

customers reduce overall life cycle costs and provide a low

cost method for maintaining unit availability. Customers can

improve site availability by leasing equipment from GE when

their own equipment is at a depot for repair, or when equipment

is being repaired on site. This program allows lease customers

to continue operations to serve their customers and meet their

business objectives.

Lease assets are provided under member or non-member lease

agreement concepts. Member and non-member rates and

options are structured to cover the actual and opportunity costs

to GE for every operating and non-operating hour.
