Abstract

A new Low Emission Atmospheric Metering Separator (LEAMS) was developed by Two-Phase Engineering and Research, Inc. and tested by Sandia National Laboratories in parallel with a cyclone separator at the Coso, California geothermal field. In order to determine the efficiency of the separator, a Jonas, Inc. Particle Monitor was installed in the exhaust from each separator to measure the mass flow rate and size distribution of water droplets exiting the separators. These tests provided semi-quantitative data on the improved separation provided by the LEAMS, as well as verification of the Jonas, Inc. Particle Monitor on geothermal steam systems.
