Extracted Text
The following text was automatically extracted from the image on this page using optical character recognition software:
and crystallizer operations in the candidate industries. This requires
gathering information such as the following:
" Plant location, capacity, and steam use
" Evaporator and crystallizer section characteristics
- Equipment configuration
- Process flows, temperatures, and pressures
- Product stream physical properties; inlet and
outlet solids
- Heat transfer coefficiencts
- Equipment types and sizes
Much of this information for the three most promising candidate indus-
tries has been collected or is readily available from known sources.
1.1.3 Multieffect Evaporator Heat and Material Balance-Optimization
Program
To help evaluate and compare multieffect evaporator operations, a com-
puter program was developed. This program, which is designed to make
heat and material balances for multieffect evaporator systems of var-
ious configurations, will be used to optimize new and retrofit geo-
thermal steam evaporator systems so that they can be compared to present
evaporator operations using conventionally generated steam.
1.1.4 Geothermal Sources
A fairly concise reference (Geological Survey Circular 726, 1976) gives
the exact location of hydrothermal convection systems in the United
States. This information enabled Bechtel to choose evaporation and
crystallization industries located in the same areas.
The two types of geothermal brines that will serve as the study basis
have been tentatively selected.1-3
