LEAMS stands for Low Emissions, Atmospheric, Metering, Separator. Leams is intended for geothermal drilling and well-testing use. This system is designed to be environmentally friendly, intrinsically safe, can be used for air/mud/mist or foam drilling with the ability to meter steam and brine flow while drilling ahead.

The LEAMS is designed to address the folling concerns:

• RIG STANDBY - Reduce the time and need to convert over to flow-testing systems (5 Days +/-). One LEAMS can replace two cyclone style used for air and flow testing.
• PORTABILITY - Modular units designed to fit into conventional 7.5' x 39' shipping containers. Components can be assembled on location. Current 12' - 16' diameter cyclone units are very expensive and difficult to ship and transport to the field.
• FLEXIBILITY - This basic design can be used in dry steam as well as hot water flash systems without modification.
• MULTIPURPOSE - LEAMS can be used for drilling, well-testing and production.
• SAFETY - Reduces the possibility of blowing a hole through the separator or launching the device off the location from transients.
• HIGH EFFICIENCY - Computer simulation studies show that the particle size catching ability of the conventional blooie muffler (drilling separator) is only 15% that of conventional high performance cyclones.
• PLANT TRIP - Power plants get tripped off line from drilling and venting operations. This is caused by carry-over from drilling separators send large amounts of highly conductive brine and other impurities through high voltage power lines and equipment. Clean steam significantly reduces this problem.
• ENVIRONMENTAL - Reduces solid/liquid carry-over emissions by up to 99 percent.
