Abstract
In late 1982 Phillips Petroleum Company began preliminary design of a power plant for Desert Peak in Churchill County, Nevada. Like all geothermal resources and projects Desert Peak is unique and required careful consideration of existing process schemes and design technologies was required. This paper will review process studies, examine some of the detail design and discuss the construction program. No attempt will be made to discuss geological aspects of the resource.
