Name of the Project
Kizildere III Unit 2 geothermal power plant (GPP) project.

Location
The project is located in West Anatolia, Turkey.

Client
Zorlu Dogal Elektrik Uretimi.

Project Description
The planned project involves the extension of the power generation capacity of Kizildere III GPP from 100 MWe to 165 MWe. The project is designed to produce 80 MWe energy using a triple flash system and 20 MWe energy using a binary cycle system.

Together with the capacity extension project, Kizildere III GPP units 1 and 2 will collectively produce 165 MWe energy, 130 MWe using a triple flash system and 35 MWe energy through a binary cycle system.

The plant integrates two systems: using a flash steam generation system that uses steam under high pressure and a binary cycle power generation system that uses flash turbine exhaust steam to vapourise a working fluid with a lower boiling point and to drive a turbine.

The capacity extension project includes the construction and operation of:
• the main power plant (Kizildere III GPP Unit 2) – binary system, steam turbine, cooling tower, condenser and noncondensable gas removal system;
• fourteen production wells (the depths of which are expected to be from 2 000 m to about 3 000 m, and the temperature of the geothermal fluid obtained from drilling will be about 230 °C);
• eight re-injection wells;
• an emergency pond;
• one observation well (to be opened within the scope of Kizildere III GPP Unit;
• pipelines; and
• service roads.
