| Abstract | A review of theoretical calculations and test results for geothermal steam-water separator performance is presented. An overview of different test methodologies is given, including a discussion of their limitations, potential parameters that might influence their results and relevance to plant process conditions. The implications of separation performance test for equipment suppliers and plant owners are discussed. |
