#Geothermal reinjection is an important aspect for the sustainable and environmentally friendly operation of the geothermal system. Once #energy has been extracted, the produced water is taken out of the binary cycle and gets discharged back into the geothermal field by way of injection wells. To this end, the hot condensate of energy-depleted water is stored in a pressurized and insulated tank. If the condensate tank is full, the condensate will accumulate in the system and the safety valves at the back of the tank open to discharge condensate into the atmosphere as steam. This can significantly reduce the amount of water pumped back into the geothermal field which is undesirable for the underground reservoirs and can have an impact on the geothermal resource management of the plant. If the safety valves stay closed, however, it may cause serious mechanical blockages in the system. Therefore, the tank level must be continuously monitored. #powergeneration #energyefficiency #energymanagement #energyindustry #powerplant #powerindustry #powerdistribution #processinstrumentation
