Abstract
Reactor-clarification in combination with a multimedia sandbed filter has been successfully used to treat a heat depleted geothermal brine prior to reinjection. The various components of a reactor-clarification system have been split into individual hardware components. This split allows for the study of all critical parameters that determine the overall efficiency of a future brine treatment facility. Based upon experimental results, a reactor-clarification system can be easily designed for future field applications. It is felt that the removal of suspend particles will not offer insurmountable problems in future geothermal operations.
