| Abstract | This paper presents the preliminary results of a geothermal project execute by the United Nations through its Department of Technical Cooperation for Development. The characteristics of the wells are examined, together with the distinctive features of the reservoir (permeability, temperature, pressure) and the fluid produced with special emphasis given to is composition and scaling tendency. The surface equipment and the existing power plants (1 MW + 2 x 3 MW) are described and their behavior during operations is discussed. The operating aspects are outlined, along with the future prospects for eh exploitation of the resource. |
