Economic impact of Geo-Coat in highly corrosive geothermal environment
Abstract:
Geo-Coat project has developed innovative anti-corrosion, anti-erosion and anti-scaling coatings (Geo-Coat technologies) to combat aggressive geofluid in future geothermal project development. The best candidates of the Geo-Coat technologies for six application areas (pipes and casings, turbine components, pump impellers and heat exchangers) have been selected based on the corrosion, erosion, scaling and cost performances. The aim of the Geo-Coat project is to use Geo-Coat technologies with low-cost substrate materials in different geothermal plant components with highly corrosive geofluid instead of expensive substrates and still achieve improved component performance. The comparative Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) results have been evaluated with and without the adoption of the Geo-Coat technology in a double flash geothermal power plant with highly corrosive geofluid. The results of the study demonstrated the potentialities of the Geo-Coat technologies to improve the economic performance of geothermal power
The environmental footprint results with and without Geo-Coat technology components adopted in a geothermal power plant.
Abstract:
Geo-Coat project has developed innovative anti-corrosion, anti-erosion and anti-scaling coatings coated on Geo-Coat substrate materials (Geo-Coat technologies) for various geothermal components to combat aggressive geofluid in future geothermal project development. The best candidate of the Geo-Coat technologies for six application areas (pipes & casings, turbine components, pump impellers and heat exchangers) have been selected based on the corrosion, erosion, scaling and cost performances and adopted alternative to the recommended state-of-the-art materials for various geothermal components with the aim of providing improved component performances during the plant lifetime. The comparative Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) results have been evaluated with and without the adoption of the best candidate of the Geo-Coat technology components adopted for geothermal components such as pipes, turbine rotors, blades and well casings employed in a geothermal power plant. The results of the study demonstrated the potentialities of the Geo-Coat technologies to improve the environmental footprints of geothermal power.
