Sampling a two-phase geothermal brine flow for chemical analysis
Abstract
An experiment designed primarily to define the problems associated with sampling the two-phase flow in a pipeline of geothermal brine is described. Analyses reported for 26 samples include chemical composition, oxidation potential, pH, density, and total solids. Changes in brine composition as the well operated during a four-week period are evaluated. The apparatus and techniques used for sampling are described and evaluated.
