Reykjanes Geothermal Power Plant Developed by Enex

Reykjanes geothermal power plant, developed by Enex, utilized two 50 MW turbines in order to produce 100 MW of electricity. Owned by HS Orka, this geothermal power plant is one of the first in the world to use such high temperature geothermal fluids. Once the brine has been extracted from the wells, it is sent to a steam separator. After the separation process, the steam is sent to a dryer under pressure conditions of 19 bars. Next, the steam is sent directly to the two 50 MW turbines.
