Reykjanes Geothermal Power Plant Developed by Enex

Enex has expanded and developed numerous geothermal power plants around the world, include the Reykjanes geothermal power plant, Berlin binary power plant, Geretsried-Nord binary power plant and many others. The Reykjanes geothermal power plant, situated in Iceland, utilizes steam and brine from 12 wells for its electricity generation process. These wells are found at depths of 2700 meters.

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.

As the Reykjanes geothermal power plant is located near the ocean, a seawater condenser with 8 degree Celsius is used to condense and cool the steam that has comes out of the turbine. A total of 4000 liters of seawater can be pumped through the seawater condenser.
