Turboden has started operations at a 6MW geothermal power plant in Japan.
The plant has been built in cooperation with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is the first in Japan fed by a two-phase geothermal resource.
The company said that after separation the steam phase condenses in the evaporator while the preheater receives only a liquid phase.
Turboden supplied its ORC turbine and process engineering for the plant, and carried out commissioning and plant start-up.
The company was also selected in September wit Spanish company TSK for the turnkey construction contract for a 50MWe geothermal plant in Oriental Mindoro in the Philippines.
It will deliver four ORC turbogenerators to local cooperatives Ormeco and Omeco.
