Improve Your Plant Performance & Reduce Your Plant First Cost

ECOLAIRE is the exclusive licensee of the Advanced Direct Contact Condenser (ADCC™) for Geothermal applications. The ADCC™ Patent Pending Technology has proven its performance through successful operation at the OC-OTEC installation in Kona, HI and Rebuilt 110MW PG&E / Geysers 11 facility. The ADCC™ has enhanced performance characteristics over conventional direct contact condensers that include:

- Low Liquid Side Pressure Drop
- Low Vapor Side Pressure Drop
- High Thermal Efficiency
- Minimal Degradation by Noncondensibles
- Low Susceptibility to Fouling and / or Corrosion
- Prediction of Absorption of Non Condensibles

These enhanced performance characteristics mean your installation can benefit from:

- Lower Cooling Water Usage and / or Lower Main Condenser Pressure
- Lower Steam Consumption for Ejectors
- Lower kWe Consumption for Vacuum Pumps
- Lower H2S Abatement Costs

The ADCC™ has a smaller volume than conventional direct contact condensers, providing for reduced foundation and/or building costs. Plus the ADCCÔ is offered with an integral gas removal system that eliminates or reduces:

- Separate Foundations for Inter and After Condensers
- Support Structures for Inter and After Condensers
- Support Structures for Ejectors
- Interconnecting Gas Vapor Piping and Valves between Main Condenser, Ejectors, and Inter / - After Condensers
- Cooling Water Piping
- Drain Piping
- Access Platforms for Operation and Maintenance
- Steam Piping
- Auxiliary Cooling Water Pumps
