| Abstract | The superheated Chloride Bearing geothermal fluid form IDDP-1 poses special challenges to the design of the utilization equipment. Chloride in the steam forms a potent acid at the onset of condensation which causes severe and rapid corrosion unless it is removed beforehand. In this work the thermodynamic powerplant design is considered for a range of steam treatment options for removal of the harmful compounds. The goal is to determine the best option to utilize such a steam, with regard to exergy conservation and cost |
