What operational changes are required when switching from a dry steam reservoir to a liquid-dominated reservoir in an existing geothermal power plant?

Switching from a dry steam reservoir to a liquid-dominated reservoir in an existing geothermal power plant necessitates several significant operational changes. A dry steam reservoir produces superheated steam directly from the reservoir, which can be fed directly to the turbine. A liquid-dominated reservoir, however, produces a mixture of hot water and steam. The first required change is the installation of steam separators at the wellhead or central gathering system. These separators are used to separate the steam from the water before the steam is sent to the turbine. This prevents liquid water from entering the turbine, which can cause damage due to erosion and corrosion. Second, the turbine may need to....
