Abstract
A process for generating power from a warm saline steam () obtained from geothermal sources. The process involves extracting a warm saline stream () from an underground geothermal formation (), reducing the temperature of the saline stream () by passing the stream through a thermal power unit () in which thermal energy present in the stream is extracted. The process also involves converting latent osmotic energy present in the stream into electricity by passing the stream through an osmotic power unit () comprising a semi-permeable membrane (). The output stream () derived from passage through the osmotic power unit is injected into a second, different underground formation.
