Turbine De Scaling

For many years Aquamax has assisted Contact Energy and other geothermal operators with their scheduled turbine maintenance.

Steam from natural geothermal fields is heavy in minerals, particularly silica which over time form strong deposits on turbine rotating and stationary blading. These deposits degrade the performance of the turbine and must be removed periodically.

For over 15 years we have assisted Contact Energy descaling their turbines getting involved with several projects every year. We utilise our ultra-high pressure (40,000 psi), low flow rate equipment which has the cutting power to remove the silica build-up but also allows operators safe flexibility of movement to ensure high productivity and access to detailed areas.
