| Abstract | The binary cycle geothermal power plant incorporates existing hydrocarbon handling technology proven in use by the petrochemical industry. Equipment sizing and hydrocarbon cycle control on the commercial plant scale however, introduce some unknowns. This report discusses the various technical factors considered in the design, selection, and sizing o the major equipment for use in the Heber Binary Cycle Geothermal Demonstration Power Plant. |
