WHAT IS GEOTHERMAL ENERGY?
A clean, renewable and environmentally benign energy
source based on the heat in the earth
Used in 58 countries of the world. Known in over 80
Electricity generation in 24 countries
Direct heating use in 78 countries
APPLICATION OF GEOTHERMAL
RESOURCES
Geothermal resources have long been used for direct heat extraction for district urban heating, industrial processing, domestic water and space heating, leisure and balneotherapy applications. Geothermal fields of natural steam are rare, most being a mixture
of steam and hot water requiring single or double flash systems to separate out the hot water, which can then be used in binary plants or for direct heating.
Re-injection of the fluids maintains a constant pressure in the
reservoir, hence increasing the field’s life and reducing concerns about environmental impacts

TURKEY Turkey is one of the most seismically active regions in the world.
Its geological and tectonic evolution has been dominated by the
repeated opening and closing of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic oceans
(Dewey and Sengör, 1979; Jackson and Mc Kenzie, 1984).
It is located within the Mediterranean Earthquake Belt, whose
complex deformation results from the continental collision between
the African and Eurasian plates (Bozkurt, 2001).
The border of these plates constitutes seismic belts marked by
young volcanics and active faults, the latter allowing the
circulation of water as well as heat.
The distribution of hot springs in Turkey roughly parallels the
distribution of the fault systems, young volcanism, and
hydrothermally altered areas
GEOLOGICALLY, TURKEY IS COMPOSED OF AEGEAN AND ANATOLIAN

SCALING AND CORROSıON
Turkish geothermal operators claim to have virtually overcome the consequences
of scaling and corrosion in both high and low temperature wells (Demir et al., 2013;
Geothermic)
GEOTHERMAL FLUIDS ENCOUNTERED IN TURKEY CAN BE CLASSIFIED
CHEMICALLY AS %95 INCRUSTING AND TWO TO THREE GEOTHERMAL FIELDS HAVE HIGHLY CORROSIVE
GEOTHERMAL FLUIDS.
IN THREE OF THE 140 GEOTHERMAL FIELDS, GEOTHERMAL FLUID
CONTAINING TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) EXCEEDS 5000 PPM.
Turkish geothermal

consequences of scaling
and corrosion in both high
and low temperature wells,
and scientific research.
GEOTHERMAL FLUID COMPOSITIONS
The vast majority of geothermal fluids is of meteoric origin.
However, isotopic studies suggest that a small fraction (5-10%) may emanate from other sources, magmatic, juvenile, fluids or host sediments (connate or formation water)
Most geothermal fluids exhibit higher TDS contents than the original, cooler, intake waters.
GEOTHERMAL FLUID COMPOSITIONS
The amount and mature of dissolved chemical species depend on temperature, pressure, minimal-fluid equilibria and mixing with other waters.
One may logically infer that hotter fluids would display higher TDSs than cooler ones, an attribute however suffers many exceptions.
THE MAJOR CONSTITUANTS OF GEOTHERMAL
WATERS ARE;
Cations: Na, K, Ca, Mg, Li, Sr, Mn, Fe
Anions: Cl-, HCO3-, SO4
2-, F-, Br-
Non ionic: SiO2, B, NH3, gases
Minor constituants: As, Hg, heavy, often
toxic, metals
Damage occurs under the form of metal corrosion and deposition on exposed material surfaces of scale species.
Both phenomena may also coexist through deposition and/or entrainment of corrosion products.
Most commonly encountered damages address CO2/H2S corrosion, alkaline carbonate/sulfate, heavy metal sulphide and silica scale.
Source mechanisms are governed by pH, solution gases and related bubble point and (CO2) partial pressures, salinity, solubility products and of thermodynamic changes induced by the production and injection processes.
Corrosion and Scaling
CORROSION AND SCALING
Whereas scaling affects mainly high enthalpy systems,
a result of fluid flashing,
steam carry over and injection of heat depleted brines,
corrosion and, at a lesser extent though,
corrosion is the major damage in exploitation of low grade geothermal heat, known as direct uses.
Micro-biological activity, particularily sulfate reducing bacteria, can also be a significant corrosion contributor in such low temperature environments.
Scale Composition
CALCIUM SCALE INHIBITION
Four inhibition groups i. Threshold effect: the inhibitor acts a as salt
precipitation retarder. ii. Crystal distortion effect: the inhibitor interferes
with crystal growth by producing an irregular structure (most often rounded surfaces) with weak scaling potential.
iii. Dispersion: the polarisation of crystal surfaces results in the repulsion between neighbouring crystal of reverse polarities
iv. Sequestration or chelation: complexation with selected cations (Fe, Mg, etc…) leads to the formation of soluble complexes.

Fe3+, Fe3+, Ca2+, HCO3-, etc.) liquid and PVT (dissolved gas phase,
gas-to-liquid ratio, bubble point) analyses,
inhibitor injection concentrations: volume metering, flow
concentrations via tracing of the inhibitor active principle,
solid particle monitoring: concentrations (staged millipore
filtrations) and particle size diameters and distributions (optical
counting, doppler laser velocimetry),
microbiology: sulphate reducing bacteria numbering,
corrosion: measurement of corrosion rates (coupons, corrosion
meters),
down hole line integrity: electrical measurements, pressurisation
and/or tracer tests,
periodic well logging inspection

Geothermal development in the last forty years has shown that it is not completely free of adverse impacts on the environment.
These impacts are causing an increasing concern to an extent that may now be limiting development
The scarce data available shows that the thermal fluids contain trace elements (As, Cd, and Pb), which may affect soil and water.
Corrosion and Scaling still a big problem in the most geothermal fields.
All possible environmental effects should be clearly identified, and mitigation measures should be devised and adopted to avoid or minimize their impact.
