Hydrothermal Volcanic Geothermal Energy (7/12)

  • Binary ORC equipment systems can come in different configurations and this is a third configuration.
  • This sketch shows a dual pressure ORC (staged systems with initial high pressure turbine system followed by a lower pressure turbine system).
  • A HP preheater is utilised to capture additional heat from the well fluids prior to reinjection.
  • Condenser can be air cooled (as shown) or by various water cooling systems.
  • These systems could be used with multiple wells in higher enthalpy reservoirs, producing electricity up to tens of MW.
  • The general principals remain the same with cooled well fluids reinjected and no gas emissions or effluent discharges.
