Hydrogeochemical and geothermal energy potential studies of the Salavatli (Aydin) geothermal field

The purpose of the research is exhibiting features of hydrogeochemial and geothermal energy potential studies of Salavatlı geothermal field. Aydin Salavatli geothermal area is 22 km. Located in the central part of the Büyük Menderes Graben. Massive marble found in the main reservoir rock form. Marble is located above and below the low porosity and permeability have mica. Schists with these properties are in a position caprock. The hydrogeological, hydrochemical and isotopic studies in the field of geothermal waters when considered as a whole; Durov sample according to the diagram sodium–bicarbonate near the corners and were found to be chemically similar. Schoeller diagram, the chemical structure is similar to each other. Hot mineral waters in the study area and Na+-HCO3-; cold water sample, the Mg+-Ca+- Na+-SO4=-HCO3- type water entersExamining the applicability of various geothermometers, the system temperature reservoir rock by silica geothermometer 187˚C-210˚C, Na-Ca-K geothermometer was estimated by the 105˚C-242˚C. Giggenbach triangle diagram and determined that the use of geothermometers with this diagram of 220˚C-230˚C geothermometry values were reached. "Enthalpy-silica" In mixture model 185˚C-219˚C reservoir rocks in the range of temperature is calculated. In most wells skinning analysis chalcedony and quartz incrustation potential is observed. Therefore inhibitors should be used.
