... was determined by X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF). Deposits and scale phases and chemistry were examined by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. Micro-hardness test was conducted on the samples to identify the hardness variation at and remote to the fracture...

...Abstract In geothermal energy production, precipitation/scaling and potential plugging of wells is one of the major threats to flow assurance. Mitigation strategies should be considered at the design stage, but to do so knowledge about solubility across a relevant space of temperature, pressure...

...Electrochemical measurements Abstract Corrosion and scaling are some of the most common challenges in geothermal applications due to the complex brine chemistry combined with the high temperatures and pressures, and the gaseous components. To study mineral scaling at metallic surfaces...
