Book Corrosion of Materials and Scaling in Low salinity East Mesa Geothermal Brines

Download or read book Corrosion of Materials and Scaling in Low salinity East Mesa Geothermal Brines written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field corrosion studies were conducted at the East Mesa Known Geothermal Resources Area (KGRA) in the Imperial Valley, Calif., to determine the optimum materials of construction for use in geothermal mineral energy resource recovery plants. These studies included characterization of geothermal environments and in situ corrosion testing. The corrosion resistance of 10 alloys exposed to 5 brine and steam process environments was evaluated using the low-salinity, high-temperature brine from geothermal well Mesa 6-1. Of these alloys, Hastelloy C-276, Hastelloy S, Inconel 625, titanium-2 nickel, and 316 L stainless steel had excellent resistance to corrosion in all of the process environments; E-Brite 26-1 and 430 stainless steel had fair resistance. Although general corrosion rates for 4130 steel and 1020 carbon steel were substantially higher than those of the other iron-base alloys, these two alloys could prove useful in low-salinity process environments because of their low cost. Aluminum alloy 5005 was the least corrosion resistant alloys and pitted severely. Scales formed on all of the alloys in every process environment. Calcite, aragonite, and an amorphous silicate were the major components of the scales.

Book Scaling in Both High and Low Salinity Brines

Book excerpt: The Bureau of Mines is involved in the nation's geothermal program from two different points of view. One is the conservation of the nation's mineral resources through the development of corrosion resistant materials. The other is to develop new mineral resource recovery techniques applicable to the hydrothermal waters of the Imperial Valley. This paper reports ''engineering'' observations made during the field operations in the Imperial Valley during 1974, 1975, and 1976. The interest in the scaling phenomena is directed only to (1) its interference with the corrosion studies, and (2) the possible role that it may play in any minerals recovery technique. The work reported here consists of chemical, structural and thermodynamic analyses of scales obtained from wells on the Salton Sea geothermal field and on the East Mesa geothermal field. In some cases there is little reliable information on the well operating parameters (flow rates, time, temperature, pressure or ''correct'' chemistry) for which the scales were obtained. For other cases, particularly for the 1975 operation of Mesa 6-1 and for the 1976 operation of Magmamax No. 1, there is at least the beginnings of some semblance of reliable background information.
