Products



XGS Energy's Geothermal System


1. Modular Systems
  • Description: The smallest modular unit is a single well, pipe-in-pipe heat exchanger.

  • Key Features:

  • Working fluid (typically water) is circulated inside a steel casing, warms up, and is returned to the surface through an inner insulated tube.


2. Water-Independent Systems
  • Description: Operates a zero-loss closed-loop recycling system.

  • Key Features: Water is continuously recycled, reducing dependence on external water sources.


3. Thermally Enhanced Systems
  • Description: Utilizes thermally conductive materials to pull additional heat to the well for optimized economics.

  • Key Features: Enhanced heat harvesting increases system efficiency and affordability.


4. Geology-Independent Systems
  • Description: Performance does not rely on rock permeability and porosity.

  • Key Features: Can be deployed in any geological setting without relying on natural water reservoirs or specific geological conditions.
