Abstract
In order to reduce the capital cost of geothermal power plant heat exchange equipment and the maintenance cost associated with fouling, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has been conducting test of polymer-base liner systems developed by Brookhaven National Laboratory. These line systems protect low-cost carbon steel tubing from corrosion and are formulated to reduce the rate of fouling.Field test data of the latest liner systems show a fouling rate reduction of 15% to 19% compared to previous liner formulations. New Substrates used between polymer liner and tube are expected to improve the liner-to-tube bond and enhance durability during the cleaning process.
