Geothermal systems of Indonesia - Influence of different factors on the corrosion performance of carbon steel API Q125
- Among all of the existing electric power generation facilities, corrosion is considered to be the most severe on geothermal power plants. The focus of this research was set to evaluate the suitability of carbon steel API Q125 as a construction material on the geothermal sites Sibayak and Lahendong, Indonesia. The investigations were performed in the artificial geothermal brines under stagnant conditions by means of short-term electrochemical methods (Tafel extrapolation) and long-term exposure tests (up to 6 months). Furthermore, the influence of different parameters on the steels performance (temperature 70 °C, 100 °C and 175 °C, salinity 20 mg/L and 1,500 mg/L chlorides, pH 2 and 4) was assessed as well to ensure a “safer operating window” of a power plant.
The results showed carbon steel API Q125 could be suitable for application in stagnant geothermal brines up to temperatures of 175 °C and a chloride concentration of 1,500 mg/L. Its applicability is limited in highly acidicAmong all of the existing electric power generation facilities, corrosion is considered to be the most severe on geothermal power plants.
