geo thermal well filtration problem

geo thermal well filtration problem

geo thermal well filtration problem

(OP)
I have a situation where I want to use a separator to clean the water from a geo thermal well.  The concern with using a separator is that the salts are in a hydrocarbon state thuse desolved.  If the separator stripps the hydrocarbons will this cope the desolved solids to undesolved solids.  Any information or contact would be extremly helpfull

Thank you,

Shawn Porter

RE: geo thermal well filtration problem

Solubility of salts is based on temperature and PH.  Salts will fall out at a lower temperature and dissolve at a higher temperature.  How will the equipment change the temperature?  Will the removal of CO2 change the PH?

Bench tests will help....Also check with some people who run geothermal equipment.  Covanta energy in Mammouth == May have changed name recently...  They deal with geothermal heat from hot water sources..  

Call me if you need help finding a contact.  713-374-7974 Steve
