Chapter 7 Energy Conversion Systems – Options and Issues Table 7.5 Results for thermodynamically optimized single­ and double­flash plants. Geofluid Energy Separator Flash Specific turbine temp., conversion temp., °C temp., °C power, kW/(kg/s) Mass flow rate in kg/s needed for °C system 200 Single­flash 121 N.A. 53.9 19.5 195.2 975.9 250 Double­flash 185 122 123.5 8.52 85.2 426.2 1 10 50 MW MW MW (7­4) where C is in $/kW and is the unit capacity in MW. This formula was calibrated at $2,500/kW for a 5 MW plant and $1,618/kW for a 150 MW plant, the largest size considered in Sanyal’s study. 7­13 It should be recognized that the maximum reasonably sustainable mass flow rates from EGS reservoirs to­date have been in the neighborhood of 20­22 kg/s. This would be sufficient to generate 1 MW from a 200°C fluid, and about 2.4 MW from a 250°C fluid. Estimated power plant costs for 1­ and 2­flash systems. In this section, we estimate the cost to install plants of the 1­ and 2­flash type for use at EGS resources. The costs are based on the work of Sanyal (2005). He postulated that the cost of a power plant (including the cost of the initial wells and associated piping gathering system, but not replacement wells) would follow an exponentially declining curve as the capacity of the power unit increases. His cost equation is: Our purpose is somewhat different in that we want to estimate the cost of power units when several of them will be constructed in a large EGS field. Thus, we need to account for both economy of scale (i.e., larger­size plants will be less expensive, per kW, than smaller ones) and a learning curve (i.e., the unit cost of many units of identical design will be less than a one­off designed plant). We expect that a lower cost limit will be reached, for which the cost of a plant will remain constant no matter the size of a given unit or the number of common units constructed. One other important difference exists in our case: We need the cost of the power plant alone because the well and field costs to create an EGS reservoir will be estimated separately in this report. To this end, we have assumed that 75% of the total cost from Eq. (7­4) is for the plant itself. Given the current uncertainty in estimating the cost to create an EGS reservoir, we believe this percentage is a reasonable estimate for the present purpose.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
