Republic Geothermal Incorporated and Tretolite Division of Petrolite Corporation recently performed clarification studies using organic flocculants to aid in the removal of suspended solids from spent geothermal fluids. The investigation took place at a recent well test in the Salton Sea area of the Imperial Valley. Organic flocculants were added to an atmospheric brine stream which fed a pilot-scale clarification vessel. Influent and effluent suspended solids levels were monitored while flocculant dosage and brine flow rate were independently varied. The implications of cost-effective flocculant treatment are also investigated.
