Examples of a combination of equipment required for a geothermal electric power plant

High temperature water or steam under pressure gushes out of 300 to 3,000 meter deep (production) wells. This flow passes through separators (High pressure water/steam separators) and flushers (Low-pressure water/steam separators) as part of the process that separates the steam from the high-temperature water. The clean steam produced at this stage is sent to the turbine and the geothermal heat energy is converted into electric power. This electric power is delivered by means of power transmission lines to power consumers. The used steam that flows from the turbine is cooled in a condenser and converted to warm water. This warm water is further cooled in a cooling tower and is returned for cooling use to the condenser. The high temperature water that was separated out of the flow is sent from the underground recovery well back into earth.
