    Characterization of Sb Scaling and Fluids in Saline Geothermal Power Plants: a Case Study for Germencik Region (büyük Menderes Graben, Turkey)
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Tonkul, Serhat; Baba, Alper; Demir, Mustafa M.; Regenspurg, Simona
    Turkey is located on the seismically active Alpine-Himalayan belt. Although tectonic activity causes seismicity in the Anatolian plate, it also constitutes an important geothermal energy resource. Today, geothermal energy production is heavily concentrated in Turkey's Western Anatolia region. Graben systems in this region are very suitable for geothermal resources. The Buyuk Menderes Graben (BMG) is an area of complex geology with active tectonics and high geothermal potential power. Germencik (Aydin) is located in the BMG, where the geothermal waters include mainly Na-Cl-HCO3 water types. This study examined the stibnite scaling formed in the preheater system of the Germencik Geothermal Field (GGF). The formation of the stibnite scaling on the preheater system dramatically reduces the energy harvesting of the GGF. Considering the stibnite scaling in the surface equipment, the optimum reinjection temperature was determined as 95 degrees C to prevent stibnite scaling in the GGF.

    Effect of High Salinity and Temperature on Water-Volcanic Rock Interaction
    (Springer, 2021) Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Gören, Ayşegül Yağmur; Topçu, Gökhan; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; Demir, Mustafa M.; Baba, Alper; Baba, Alper
    In order to understand the processes occurring in natural hydrothermal systems, it was carried out a series of water-volcanic rock interaction studies in the laboratory and an intermediate volcanic rock samples from geothermal production wells in Tuzla geothermal field (TGF) in western Turkey. A high-pressure autoclave was used to conduct water-rock interaction experiments under similar conditions of the field. Rainwater and seawater were treated with volcanic rocks at 140 degrees C (reservoir temperature) and 4.5 bar pressure. The change in the ionic content of the resulting fluids was examined in terms of the type of volcanic rocks and mineral saturation index. The results indicate that talc and diopside minerals in geothermal systems may cause scaling at high temperatures depending on the geothermal fluid and pH.
