| Abstract | In 2013 a new initiative for dissemination of geothermal scaling and corrosion information was initiated within NACE International corrosion society. A task group, TEG 182X - Geothermal System Corrosion, was formed with the purpose of promoting discussion of corrosion and scaling in geothermal energy systems – impact of production, process and reinjection conditions on materials and process efficiency. The primary means of achieving this goal has been by holding symposia within the NACE annual corrosion conference. Five symposia have been held to date and more are planned. This paper reviews the task group activities with particular emphasis on the recent corrosion and scaling research themes emerging from symposia papers. |
