Geothermal plants operate in environments characterized by high temperatures, aggressive chemical compositions, and varying pressures. These extreme conditions, while necessary for extracting geothermal energy, also create a perfect storm for scale formation and corrosion.
The efficiency of heat exchangers is paramount for optimal plant performance, cost management, and environmental compliance. However, one of the most significant challenges to maintaining high efficiency in heat exchangers is biofouling.

The global energy transition is perhaps the biggest challenge of our era, but Oceanit is actively working on developing technologies to decarbonize current energy production methods. These technologies give us the time needed to forge a path to sustainable and renewable energies.
Regular maintenance of a shell and tube heat exchanger is essential to ensure efficient operation and to avoid the onset of ‘fouling’ – the unwanted accumulation of material on heat transfer surfaces.
