| Summary: | The most common scales in 7 utilized Icelandic high-temperature geothermal systems are calcite, amorphous silica, magnesium silicates, iron silicates, aluminium silicates and metal sulphides. They are mostly controlled by adjustment of temperature and pressure although chemical inhibition may be preferred due to production capacity. Reaming of wells by drilling and physical removal from surface equippment or acid cleaning may be needed. |
