| Abstract | For the past 20 years, electricity from geothermal origin has been produced in the Cerro Prieto field and, more recently, in Los Azufres and Los Humeros. Backpressure, condensing and binary cycle units are installed in these fields, each type with its advantages and disodvantages. One of the main problems -- especially at the L O ~ Humeros field -- is that of turbine scaling, wich has been faced fully through a washing steam and turbine process. |
