Abstract
Modern geothermal power plants are a complicated engineering-technical complex where thermalphysic technological processes are accompanied by erosive-corrosive interaction of geothermal multi-component flows with power equipment metal elements.
Reliability, economy and durability of power equipment depend to high extent on a type and intensity of metals erosion-corrosion.
Basing on complex experimental researches at geothermal power units of Mutnovsky reservoir (Kamchatka, Russia) and results of calculation-theoretical works main regularities of metals erosion-corrosion in multi-component geothermal environments were found out, erosive-corrosive stability of various metals was defined, recommendations on improvement of erosive-corrosive stability of geothermal power equipment were worked out.
