Abstract
A method of removing built up scale in a conduit of a geothermal plant, in which conduit a fluid including mineralized water is flowing, is provided. The method includes analyzing the mineralized water and scale. A chelator, acid composition, and/or caustic composition for dissolving the scale is predetermined based on the analysis of the mineralized water and scale. The fluid in the conduit is alternately treated with the acid composition and the caustic composition. The caustic composition includes the predetermined chelator. Treating is carried out without stopping the fluid flow in the conduit. The acid composition and the caustic composition are injected directly into the fluid in the conduit.
