Geothermal energy harnessing methods:
• Water Rankine Cycles – Condensing steam turbine
• Dry steam
• Flash
• Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) – Binary plants
• Combined Cycles
All Rights Reserved© Exergy S.p.A. 2015Proprietary & Confidential
• Flexibility of operation: partial loads effective matching
• No water consumption
• Easy maintenance: no need for costly and time consuming
service operations
• Easy operation: fully-automatic plant, no need for dedicated
personnel to operate it
• Adaptability: it is possible to produce electric energy with new
kind of resources never exploited before:
• Low temperature
• Low Enthalpy (liquid dominated)
• High NCG content
ORC vs. STEAM TECHNOLOGY

• In many geothermal plants around the world
the heat content of the brine is “wasted”
• Binary power plants can operate with the hot
liquid brine and produce more electrical power
out of the same wells
• The power production of the geothermal plants
can be enhanced without the risk of drilling
new wells
• Many of these plants are in operation around
the world
• Exergy has constructed the first and unique
commercial geothermal organic turbine
operating in Italy as a bottoming of a single
flash power plant in Bagnore, Tuscany

The current situation in MEXICO:
• At the moment only few MW of geothermal energy are produced with the binary
technology
• An average of 223 production wells were active in 2013 in Mexico producing 6.358
t/h of Steam, this represent the 45% w/w of the total amount of fluid extracted.
(Data: Geothermal proceedings WGC 2015) This means that, theoretically, there
are about 7.77 t/h of brine available for producing clean energy without major
drilling risks. Not all of this brine can be used but surely there are good
opportunities to exploit some of this.
• The binary technology can bring to Mexico a significant increase of geothermal
energy production
• More power can be produced with the binary technology by operating existing wells
that could not be exploited with the steam technology (low enthalpy wells, not
flowing wells by means of enhanced lift)

TECHNOLOGY
All Rights Reserved© Exergy S.p.A. 2015Proprietary & Confidential
The Radial Outflow Turbine is capable
of converting the energy that is contained
in the fluid with higher efficiency than
competing technologies on the market.
Designed and patented by EXERGY, the Radial Outflow Turbine is unique in the ORC marketplace.
The idea was first conceptualized by EXERGY CEO Claudio Spadacini.

CONCLUSIONS
All Rights Reserved© Exergy S.p.A. 2015Proprietary & Confidential
CONCLUSIONS
• The Organic Rankine Cycle has several advantages compared with the
traditional steam technology. With the developing of the ORC the
possibilities of exploiting the geothermal resource have grown fast
opening a new share of the market.
• The Exergy radial outflow turbine has demonstrated great technology
advantages and is leading the development of Exergy into the market
• Many binary power plants have been constructed demonstrating during
their operation the strengths of the ORC technology in exploiting the
available geothermal resource
• The future of the Geothermal Power industry might be in the ORC
technology and Mexico has the best chances to become the leader of
this growth
