High temperature geothermal plants are normal power plants on the power plant side of the heat exchanger. On the geothermal well side of the heat exchanger, pipes don't suffer from corrosion problems when an appropriate alloy and or spray coating is used. The correct combination varies by location determined by the mineral combination and pH of the steam. Pipes carrying the steam from the ground through the heat-exchanger do experience deposition of minerals, primarily silica. This is typically treated weekly with a rapid high temperature acid flush. As for the location of geothermal plants operated by Chevron and others, you may refer to the documentation I provided when you previously posted your speculations. Message 24125987 The information remains the same as last month. The continued success of Chevron's global geothermal and oil operations don't hinge on your personal belief or approval - though you may certainly believe what you like. I suspect you will need your memory refreshed again in another month's time. Senility? .
