Nga Awa Purua geothermal power station (NAP) operates a conventional direct contact condenser with recirculating cooling water and forced air cooling towers. The power station is located at the Rotokawa Geothermal field, near Taupō in the North Island of New Zealand. The field supports two power stations: NAP, which was commissioned in 2010 with an installed capacity of 140 MW; and Rotokawa I, a binary power plant which has been in operation since 1997.

Geothermal power stations that use direct contact condensers and forced air cooling towers typically use shallow reinjection for disposal of cooling tower blowdown. The reinjected fluid can be taken from the hot well pump return line to the cooling tower to give a minimum oxygen concentration, however, a low level of oxygen will invariably be present. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the effect of reinjecting an oxygen containing cooling tower blowdown into a corrosive intermediate aquifer where the reinjected water may reach nearby wells cased in carbon steel. The procedures used for this assessment and the resultant effect on the corrosion risk for nearby wells are described. The results obtained show that the risk of additional corrosion may be slightly enhanced for nearby wells but of little impact for wells at some distance from the reinjection site.

This paper presents the laboratory qualification program utilized to compare four lining systems for application down to -10°C (14°F). The lining systems were applied and cured at -10 °C (14 °F). Cure of the lining systems was monitored using differential scanning calorimetry and adhesion testing, while the performance of the linings was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and autoclave and standard atlas cell testing. One of the four lining systems, Product C, a 71% volume solids epoxy that contained zinc phosphate, exhibited the most potential for low temperature field implementation.

Acidizing process is generally performed on wells to maximize their initial productivity and on aging wells to restore productivity and maximize the recovery of the energy resources. The process involves pumping acid into a wellbore or geologic formation that is capable of producing oil and/or gas. Well acidizing is accomplished by pumping acid into the well to dissolve limestone, dolomite and calcite cement between the sediment grains of the reservoir rocks.

There is a sizable push for making more sustainable, renewable, and environmentally friendly fuels. One such example is the recent emphasis on manufacturing biofuels in the form of biodiesel or bio-oil. While ethanol is also considered a biofuel and likely the most widely used it will not be a focus of this discussion.
