Since the early twentieth century, geothermal energy has been used to produce electricity. In the 1980’s and 90’s, rapid expansion in the demand for geothermal energy put pressure on suppliers to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Because of high temperatures and varying pressures, measuring steam flow through "Differential ...
QuadraTherm® insertion thermal flow meter with four-sensor thermal technology Advantages of thermal mass flow meters for gases: Direct mass flow measurement of gases eliminates the need for temperature or pressure compensation Accuracy +/- 0.5 percent reading; high flows 60,000 sfpm (0-305 smps); 100:1 turndown Multivariable: Mass flow rate, temperature & pressure Advanced ...
This large geothermal company needed reliable equipment in the deserts of southeastern California. Geothermal plants turn water into to steam to drive turbines. Protecting the pumps is paramount. ...
This paper explores the concept of harnessing geothermal energy from heavy oil fields that have undergone steam flooding and so accumulated substantial heat from steam injection. ...
Non-Condensable Gases (NCGs) are natural components of geothermal fluids, and they are a source of considerable capital and operating costs for power plants. The NCG content of geothermal steam varies over the world from almost zero to as much as 25% (wt). ...
Multiparameter flowmeter improves process, saves money at western energy company Sierra Instruments is hard at work in the geothermal steam fields of rhc Wcsr where rugged reliability matters. In energy-strapped California, one emerging technology is using the natural geothermal reservoirs in certain areas as a source of steam ...
These applications include natural gas production, oil refining, biogas, landfill gas, coke oven gas, geothermal steam power production, CO2 production for beverage use, lube oil production, and many others. ...
The LO-CAT® II process is used to control H2S emissions and reduce odors at geothermal power plants. Geothermal steam, considered to be a clean and environmentally friendly source of energy, is produced when water seeps into high temperature, high pressure formations below the earth's surface. The steam is brought to the ...
Conventional geothermal power plants (GPP) differ from fossil-fuel power plants (FFPP) in many ways. The most specific ones are that GPPs are not cyclic plants and the working fluid is not pure steam. Geothermal steam contains non-condensable gases (NCG) which degrade power plant efficiency. ...
This article concerns the use of jet devices for utilisation of steam obtained by means of renewable energy sources (solar and geothermal) and of waste steam after the various industrial processes, for such purposes as hot water and heat supply, water lifting and desalination. ...
This article concerns the direction of using jet devices for utilisation of steam obtained from renewable energy sources (solar and geothermal) and of waste steam following various industrial processes, e.g. hot water and heat supply, water lifting and desalination. ...
