Thermochemical monitoring is essential for maintaining the efficiency and safety of geothermal systems. Our services provide detailed insights into fluid quality, well integrity, and chemical conditions, helping operators optimize performance and extend the lifespan of their assets.
On-Site Sampling Services:
- Measurement of electrochemical parameters (pH, Eh, S).
- On-site inoculation of bacterial test cultures for bacteriological analysis.
- Stabilization of samples for laboratory analysis.
- Isokinetic sampling of fluids, solids, and gases at the center of the fluid vein.
Laboratory Analyses at GPC:
- Major Elements: Atomic absorption, argentimetry, and specific electrode techniques.
- Sulfides: Quantification via argentimetry.
- Suspended Matter: Staged filtration and optical counting (GPC/IFP methods).
- Bacteriology: Culture of sulfate-reducing bacterial strains in controlled incubators.
- Free Gases: Analysis through gas chromatography.
- Inhibitor Dosage: Precise measurement of chemical inhibitors in the fluid.
Wellhead and Casing Integrity Control:
- Annual verification of the downhole chemical inhibition (TAI) line.
- Deferred inspection logs for geothermal pipes and wellheads.
Expert Operating Recommendations:
- Chemical monitoring to maintain fluid quality.
- Determination of optimal operating conditions.
- Tailored chemical inhibition programs to mitigate scaling and corrosion.
