Power plants could reject heat to the atmosphere using either a wet-type or dry-type<br />

cooling tower. Except for our Upper Mahiao Power Plant that uses a dry-type system, EDC<br />

facilities have the wet-type cooling towers. These cooling towers expose hot water directly<br />

to atmospheric air for heat transfer. For a geothermal plant, raw water is added only during<br />

the first start up and when the basin is drained for cleaning. This is because about 80% by<br />

mass of water added to the cycle by condensation of steam is re-circulated back into the<br />

system. Excess water is recycled through the injection wells.<br />
