The Biphase turbine provides an innovative method of improving performance in single and double flash systems. The Biphase turbine accepts brine and steam and accomplishes the following: 1. Extracts power from the liquid energy. 2. Separates and delivers clean steam to a steam turbine. 3. Repressurizes liquid for reinjection or pumping. The improvement in energy conversion results in more power production from given geothermal fluid supplies, thereby improving the power plant economies. The result is low overall project costs reflected in reduced busbar costs of electricity. The Biphase Rotatory Separator Turbine is a simple and rugged machine which has demonstrated high reliability in the geothermal environment. In the wellhead system, a geothermal steam turbine is used in tandem. The equipment is factory pre-fabricated and skid-mounted, to provide flexibility and portability. Operating and maintenance costs are low because of small, rugged machinery and high availability.
