Geothermal Well Processing and Power Generation
Energy
Processing of geothermal well fluid from an Icelandic geothermal reservoir. The produced fluid is depressurized through multiple flash stages to separate steam from the liquid phase. The steam streams are expanded to generate power, while residual heat is rejected using water cooling. Non-condensable gases are separated and sent to gas treatment, and the remaining geothermal water is collected for reinjection into the reservoir. The example illustrates multiphase flashing, power generation, heat rejection and fluid reinjection in a geothermal process.
