Oregon Institute of Technology (OIT) proposes to install a geothermal power plant using a low-temperature resource on the campus. Technical support would be provided by the Geo-Heat Center. The power plant would be a binary or organic Rankine cycle (ORC) type in the 200 kW generating capacity range. This plant would use the existing geothermal water that is presently supplied from wells for heating the campus. The process would take approximately 15˚F (8˚C) off the top of our 192˚F (89˚C) geothermal water, and the remaining 177˚F (81˚C) is then sufficient to heat the campus by “cascading” the water after being run through the power plant for space heating
