What are the challenges of geothermal systems?

Scaling:

  • Resulting in clogging of wellbore and production loss
  • Causes a decrease of production and heat transfer capacity, energy loss, and increase of operational cost
  • Affects the sustainability of the geothermal reservoir 

Corrosion:

  • Resulting in damage of well equipment and even loss of well
  • Causes damage on brine gathering system and plant area, increasing operational costs due to long shut-downs
  • Ends up with permanent damage on the surface pipes and equipment

Chemical treatment is one of the essential applications of all types of geothermal utilization. There are different approaches to treatment programs, such as avoiding damages and performance enhancement techniques. Kurita Geothermal Technology products are accordant with the co-precipitation mechanism of several minerals in geothermal flow.
