The power generation system to be provided by Turboden will add new binary cycle geothermal power equipment, whose key component is the company's proprietary 29MW ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) system, to the existing 120MW flash type geothermal power plant owned and operated by Bac-Man Geothermal Inc.
