Intermediate pressure reboiling in geothermal flash plant for increased power production and more effective non-condensable gas abatement

Non-condensable gases (NCG) in condensing geothermal flash plants have negative effects as they reduce heat transfer and thus deteriorate vacuum in condenser. Therefore, it is necessary to evacuate the condenser by vacuum pumps which substantially increases the parasitic load of the plant. Furthermo...
