Objective
To introduce the use of low temperature (53 deg. C) geothermal energy in an area having an estimated resource capacity equivalent to 600 million tonnes of oil and demonstrate its use in a range of applications, including greenhouses, grain drying, offices, retail and dwellings, by means of innovative engineering techniques.
The proposed process plant comprises a geothermal doublet (supply and reinjection wells); Extraction and reinjection pumps; chemical treatment facilities; heat exchanger; vapour compression and absorption heat pumps; standby and back up boilers; CHP generator for the supply of process electricity; heat distribution pumping equipment and pipelines and the central system for fully integrated operation.
The hot water from the geothermal/process will be distributed at two temperature levels. The first 50 deg. C to serve a 10-20 acre glashouse which will be equipped with a forced convention heating system designed to operate with a return temperature of 35 deg. C, and the second at 65-70 deg. C to serve dwellings and other premises to achieve a return temperature of 40 deg. C.
A particular feature of the scheme is a visitors centre which will include a geothermal exhibition related to the use of the geothermal resource, an engineering exhibition which will describe and display the process techniques used and finally an exhibition on the uses of the energy in particular the glashouse.
