Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the stop or suppression of the polymerization growth of silica by adding glyoxal into the geothermal hot water. CONSTITUTION:Glyoxal is added into the geothermal hot water. The addition amount is usually within the addition range of 1-1,000ppm and the addition of 10-300ppm is effective. As a result, the polymerization growth of silica is suppressed, silica is maintained in the super-saturated state and consequently the formation of scale is suppressed.

Geothermal power generation uses high-temperature steam and hot water that erupts from deep underground, but a large amount of silica is dissolved in this, and as the temperature drops over time, it polymerizes and becomes insoluble and generates heat. It has become a major problem in terms of geothermal development, as it precipitates as scale in the water path, reducing the thermal efficiency of heat exchangers, and blocking the flow path, reducing the capacity of reinjection wells in particular.

Methods to eliminate such obstacles include keeping the pH of hot water on the acidic or alkaline side, introducing hot water into a retention tank and retaining it for a period of time until silica polymerizes to a certain particle size, or using aluminum, iron, etc. There are many ways to prevent scale formation by adding various surfactants, water-soluble monomers, polymers, organic and inorganic phosphates, chelating agents, etc. There are some proposals, but none have been put into practical use at the testing stage except for the retention tank method, and it is hoped that an economical and practical method will be developed.

The amount of glyoxal added to hot water varies depending on the silica concentration in the hot water, but is usually 1 to 1000 pp.
It is effective to add 10 to 300 ppm when used within the range of 10 to 300 ppm (Example) Hot water led from a production well of a certain geothermal power plant has a temperature of 95°C.
, a silica concentration B o o ppm (all dissolved silica) is placed in a bottle containing polyethylene 1 from which the hot water is collected, and glyoxal is added in advance to the concentration shown in Table 1. Immediately after collecting the hot water, the bottle was placed in a thermostatic water bath at 60°C, and the silica concentration (dissolved silica) was measured for 1 hour and 1 hour later.

The formation of silica scale is said to be mainly caused by silica during the polymerization process, which has a strong adhesive force, and glyoxal, which has the effect of stopping or inhibiting polymerization, can be used, for example, at the inlet of a heat exchanger, hot water transport pipe, or entrance of a reinjection well. It is possible to eliminate and reduce various problems caused by silica precipitation without the need for special equipment or equipment by simply adding it to silica, etc., so it is economically advantageous compared to conventional methods that require a large amount of equipment and equipment. is big.
