A double-flash power plant is considered more advantageous than a single-flash power plant, as the former can generate 25% more output power than the latter under the same geothermal fluid conditions ... However, double-flash steam power plant technology is more complex and its operation and maintenance are more expensive than single-flash power plants. ... The use of a second pressure drop in a secondary flash process (second separator), after the first pressure drop, supports the production of extra vapor from the separated liquid exiting the first separator. 1, record 1, English, - double%2Dflash%20steam%20geothermal%20power%20plant
