Answer to Question 1

The main parts include the production well, separator, steam turbine, alternator (generator), condenser, cooling tower and an injection well.

The flash steam plant operates with a very high temperature source. Pressurized hot water passes through a special control valve or orifice plate where it expands and produces steam. A separator removes remaining hot water and brine and the rest of the process is the same as the dry steam plant described in question 11.

Answer to Question 2

Geopressurized reservoirs consist of high-pressure hot brine (salt water) in deep underground reservoirs made of permeable rock that traps the water under an impermeable layer of cap rock; often natural gas is trapped also.

Hot-water reservoirs are geothermal heated underground pools of water and steam, which are the most useful form of reservoir for electricity production.
