Abstract
Thoughts about utilization of the geothermal resources in Salihli area began in 1992 with drilling of 2 geothermal production wells by MTA General Directorate in Kursunlu geothermal field.
Salihli Geothermal Integrated System includes geothermal district heating, geothermal air-conditioning, balneological utilization, greenhouse heating and raisin production which will be explained in further details in this paper. Now, only the geothermal district heating system and balneological utilization is operational.
The geothermal field is at 3-4 km distance from the Salihli city center with a higher altitude of 100 m. geothermal fluid is carried to the heating centre located very near to the city center and transported back again to the geothermal field for reinjection.
