geothermal energy

Volcanic systems such as stratovolcanoes or caldera can host both mineralisation and geothermal manifestations. Stratovolcanoes would have had steep topography (prior to any erosion or collapse) and radial dipping sequences of permeable and impermeable rocks that means groundwater flow is directed laterally down the flanks.  Hydrothermal fluids rising in the […]

There are two main types of epithermal systems, classified based on the temperature and acidity of the hydrothermal fluids:

When exploring for energy and mineral resources, it is important to understand the geological processes that may have led to the deposition of these resources and whether or not they can be economically accessed and produced for use.  Across the world, there are unique geological settings that have led to […]

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 […]
