| Abstract | A Geothermal Corrosivity Classification System, based on corrosion experience at more than 45 geothermal resources worldwide, is presented. This system divides geothermal resources into six classes based on fluid chemistry and corrosiveness to carbon steel and other materials. The system is expected to facilitate corrosion engineering decision making and reduce the cost of geothermal systems. |
