| Abstract |
A summary of the techniques of corrosion and scaling inhibitors in the geothermal fluids are presented in this report, especially those developed by our research group in recent years. Material selection of corrosion and fouling inhibition, coatings, fluid pretreatment, and chemical additive are emphasized. Future research areas required would mainly be helping to predict corrosion and scaling trends of; geothermal fluids, chemistry simulation, scaling mechanisms in geothermal fluids, strong combination forces between protection coatings and substrates, cathode protection and hybrid inhibition techniques. |
