Some are exploited already but  many more are only now being considered, as planners begin to  recognize the environmental benefits of this unfamiliar energy  resource. The relative economic benefits are more marginal, however,  and a successful scheme requires careful design and optimization. The  nature of geothermal resources imposes special conditions which may be  unfamiliar to many plant engineers. In addition, many different  approaches are possible, depending on the characteristics of the  resource and the user and on the operator's requirements. Must the  scheme be optimized for energy recovery or for financial return, or is  it more important that it should remain profitable over as wide a  range of conditions as possible? \u003cbr\u003e  This book, written by professional plant engineers with first-hand  experience, is designed to guide plant engineers through the different  options and to help in this optimization process. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792319689\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 308\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312223965324,"sku":"9780792319689","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792319689","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
