Scale-fragment formation impairing geothermal energy production: interacting H2S corrosion and CaCO3 crystal growth

Abstract Background Mineral precipitates (scaling) from deep saline thermal waters often constitute a major problem during geothermal energy production. The occurrence of scale-fragments accumulating and clogging pipes, filters, and heat exchangers is of particular concern regarding an efficient ene...
