Treatment Methods for Geothermal Brines
SourceA survey is made of commercially available methods currently in use, as well as those which might be used, to prevent scaling and corrosion in geothermal brines. More emphasis is placed on scaling than on corrosion. Treatments are classified as inhibitors, alterants, and coagulants and are applied to control scaling and corrosion in fresh and waste geothermal brines. Recommendations for research in brine treatment are described.
