Two-phase fluid
Did You Know That….
…the geothermal field we have in the Philippines is dominated by two-phase fluid?
For those of you who are not familiar with this term, two-phase fluid is a term referring to a mixture of fluid having 2 states, i.e. liquid and gas.
In contrast to the “dry” steamfield in other countries, ours in the Philippines consists of a mixture of about 60-80% liquid (which we call brine, partly due to its mineral content), and just about 20-40% steam. Now in order to harness this steam component, the two-phase fluid extracted from geothermal wells must be made to pass through a separator vessel, where the 2 components of the mixture are separated through the cyclone effect.
This is what a separator vessel looks like (actually, this is a pair of them).
I do hope this hasn’t gotten your nose bleeding guys. Just a lil’ trivia for you.
