- Binary ORC equipment systems can come in different configurations that are dependent on mass flow rate, pressure, temperature, and phase composition (by the time the fluids reach the power generation facility).
- This sketch shows a simple ORC configuration where multiphase production well fluid enters a heat exchanger and then, somewhat cooled, is reinjected back down into the hydrothermal reservoir to be reheated to continue the production cycle and maintain reservoir pressure.
- Simple systems like this have been manufactured and successfully deployed on individual wells in hundreds of kW or multiple wells up to a few MW.
- This is a closed system with no gas emissions or effluent discharges.
