A production well is drilled miles below the earth’s surface into a known geothermal reservoir so that steam and brine from the reservoir can be directed through pipes to a power plant for use in generating electricity. Solenis offers several proven technologies that help ensure the optimal performance of production wells by proactively addressing corrosion and mineral scale.

A steam separator is used to separate steam and brine from two-phase geothermal mixtures so that only clean, dry steam enters a turbine, the most expensive piece of equipment in a geothermal power plant. To help ensure the reliable operation of a steam separator, Solenis offers a variety of technologies that effectively control mineral deposition and corrosion.

A turbine is the primary piece of equipment used to convert geothermal energy to electrical energy. Here, high-temperature, high-pressure steam from a geothermal reservoir is used to rotate the turbine that drives a generator to produce electricity. To help mitigate the issues caused by the various impurities and dissolved gases that are typically found within steam, Solenis offers various solutions.

A condenser is a type of heat exchanger used to cool and condense the steam that passes through a turbine, converting the steam back to liquid water before it is sent to a plant’s cooling tower. Solenis offers a number of valued-added solutions that can help maximize heat exchanger efficiency across a plant’s entire heat exchanger network.

A cooling tower uses evaporative cooling to lower the temperature of the condensate from the condenser so that it can be reused in the process or discharged to a reinjection well. Solenis offers state-of-the-art monitoring and control systems and novel chemistries for maintaining the reliability and performance of cooling towers.

A reinjection well is used to return geothermal brine and steam condensate back into a geothermal reservoir after energy extraction. Solenis offers several advanced and unique chemical technologies that help ensure the optimal performance of reinjection wells by cleaning troublesome scale deposits and stimulating the receiving formation.

In binary geothermal power generation systems, a pre-heater and a vaporizer—a type of heat exchanger system—are used to transfer heat from the geothermal brine and steam to a working fluid that is used to rotate a turbine and run an electrical generator. Solenis offers a variety of solutions for mitigating the various issues that corrosion and scale can cause in heat exchanger systems.
