Second shipment of equipment arrives in Dominica for Geothermal power plant project

Roseau, Dominica: The Commonwealth of Dominica received the shipment of the key equipment of the “Geothermal power plant” on Friday morning. The components that are necessary for the construction of the plant, marking the arrival of the products for the second time in the country.  

The major shipment was expected by the government of Dominica for the smooth working on the construction site of the plant. The shipment of the equipment included the heat exchangers with seven book loads. The two of them will work through the smooth functioning and the operation of the plant.

The components also included two preheaters, two operators, two recuperators and one motor fluid tank. In addition to that, the seven book loads will work for the generation of electricity that will promote an eco-friendly environment.  

Apart from these, the shipment will also include turbine and turbines are an essential part for the construction of the plant. The turbines will be installed in the 12 foot open top containers and as per the reports on the construction, the road survey of the plant was completed on Thursday before the components are transported to Laudet.  

The main components of this equipment will include vaporizer and other products that will take geothermal from the ground and separate it to steam and brine and then hot water. Hence, vaporizer is one of the components that will be used to stream and then the stream will go to vaporizer and transfer its heat to another fluid, which cycles in the power plant.  

The preheater will be another component that will be used to enhance the proper usage of the hot water. Further, the hot water will be transfered to heats to the motor fluid before it goes to the vaporizer. As the global community grapples with the urgent need to address climate change, initiatives like the one between OMA technologies and the government of Dominica serve as beacons of hope.
