Geothermal Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment, Second Edition expounds on the geothermal industry, exploring the expansion, growth, and development of geothermal systems. This text covers every area of geothermal energy, including environmental and economic issues, and technological advancements. ...
Examining the numerical modeling of sub-surface systems, this comprehensive work studies fluid flow in saturated groundwater-flow and geothermal systems. ...
Report 4140: Geothermal Energy explores finance, policy, market and technology issues in depth with project developers, lenders, investors, researchers and industry analysts. We also examine the emergence of competitors to Ormat for the fast-growing low-temperature segment of geothermal, the tantalizing potential of enhanced geothermal ...
Focusing on geothermal energy systems, this unique work in the recently developed CRC series, Energy and the Environment looks at the background, theory, power generation, applications, strengths and weaknesses, and practical techniques for implementing geothermal energy projects. ...
Geothermal waters, hot enough to provide direct heating, are available in many parts of the world. Some are exploited already but many more are only now being considered, as planners begin to recognize the environmental benefits of this unfamiliar energy resource. The relative economic benefits are more marginal, however, and a successful scheme requires careful design and optimization. The ...
The use of shallow geothermal energy (SGE) systems to acclimatize buildings has increased exponentially in the Netherlands and worldwide. In certain areas, SGE systems are constructed in aquifers also used for drinking water supply raising the question of potential groundwater quality impact. Impacts of Shallow Geothermal Energy ...
The book introduces the topic of geochemical modeling of fluids in subsurface and hydrothermal systems. The intention is to serve as a textbook for graduate students in aqueous, environmental and groundwater geochemistry, despite the fact that its focus is on the special topic of geochemistry in hydrothermal systems, it also provides new insights for experienced researchers with respect to the ...
This is the proceedings of a symposium which was convened with the objectives of: reviewing the state of the art in isotope hydrology, outlining recent developments in the application of isotope techniques to water resources management, and identifying future trends and developments for research and applications. The breadth of topics addressed was extensive and included analytical developments, ...
Featuring the contributions of industrial and academic experts, this volume discusses the fundamental and practical aspects of industrial water treatment. After an overview of water chemistry and the characteristics of mineral scales, the book addresses the formation and control of different scales in various systems. It covers membrane-based separation processes, reverse osmosis systems, and ...
