Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of characterizing organic hydrocarbon compounds contained in a solid deposit of a geothermal plant, by measuring a quantity of organic hydrocarbon compounds released by a solid deposit sample during heating by pyrolysis according to a temperature sequence such that: from a temperature (T1) ranging between 50° C. and 120° C., the temperature of a rock sample is raised to a temperature (T2) ranging between 180° C. and 220° C. This temperature (T2) is then maintained for a predetermined duration. The temperature of the sample is raised to a temperature (T3) ranging between 330° C. and 370° C. This temperature (T3) is maintained for a predetermined duration. The temperature of the sample is thereafter raised to a temperature (T4) ranging between 630° C. and 670° C.
