Abstract
Kamojang Geothermal Field has been supplying steam for the 140 Power Plant since 1982. Although this field produces only saturated steam with no water, scale build up has been observed at places near the wellheads. Detailed investigations during the last two years have distinguished the sources of this scale and enabled different for each case.
