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.
