Geothermal pilot plants. ... In the early stages of developing a geothermal field it is customary to blow the first successful bores to waste at high output for a long time, in order to enable the behavior of the bores and field to be studied. A pilot plant could put this steam to good use. Such a plant would be of an experimental nature, installed to foster confidence and to gain experience.
