The Master’s Program in Geothermal Engineering, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), conducted another session of the Geothermal Forum Webinar Series 2022 with the topic “Calcium Carbonate Scale Inhibition Program on Two-Phase Geothermal Well in Indonesia.”

Calcium carbonate (calcite) scaling is one of the most common and severe problems in geothermal wells worldwide. The formation of calcite deposits can significantly reduce well output, decrease power plant performance, and increase maintenance frequency and operational costs. It is estimated that over 80% of geothermal operations experience issues related to calcium carbonate scaling.

In this week’s session, Nur Choiri Amin shared valuable insights into various methods used to prevent and mitigate calcite scaling, as well as rehabilitation techniques for production wells affected by scaling. The forum was moderated by Albertus Ivan and attended by participants from academia, industry, and government institutions interested in geothermal production optimization.

The webinar was held online via Zoom and YouTube, providing an accessible platform for professionals and students to discuss scaling challenges and innovative mitigation strategies in Indonesia’s geothermal fields.
