Abstract Geothermal energy source is the heat from the Earth, which ranges from the shallow ground (the upper 100 m of the Earth) to the hot water and hot rock which is a few thousand meters beneath the Earth's surface. In both cases the so-called open systems for geothermal energy resource exploitation consist of a groundwater production well to supply heat energy and an injection well to return the cooled water, from the heat pump after the thermal energy transfer, in the underground. In the paper an analytical method for a rapid estimation of the ground water flow direction effect on the coupled production well and injection well system will be proposed. The method will be illustrated with solutions and images for representative flow directions respect to the axis of the production/injection well system.

Nigeria has some surface phenomena that indicate the presence of viable geothermal energy. None of these locations have been explored extensively to determine the feasibility of sustainable geothermal energy development for electricity generation or direct heating. In this context, the present study aims to provide insight into the energy potential of such development based on the enthalpy estimation of geothermal reservoirs. This particular project was conducted to determine the amount of energy that can be gotten from a geothermal reservoir for electricity generation and direct heating based on the estimated enthalpy of the geothermal fluid. The process route chosen for this project is the single-flash geothermal power plant because of the temperature (180℃) and unique property of the geothermal fluid (a mixture of hot water and steam that exists as a liquid under high pressure). The Ikogosi warm spring in Ekiti State, Nigeria was chosen as the site location for this power plant. To support food security efforts in Africa, this project proposes the cascading of a hot water stream from the flash tank to serve direct heat purposes in agriculture for food preservation, before re-injection to the reservoir. The flowrate of the geothermal fluid to the flash separator was chosen as 3125 tonnes/hr. The power output from a single well using a single flash geothermal plant was evaluated to be 11.3 MW*. This result was obtained by applying basic thermodynamic principles, including material balance, energy balance, and enthalpy calculations. This particular project is a prelude to a robust model that will accurately determine the power capacity of geothermal power plants based on the enthalpy of fluid and different plant designs.

Objectives. The aim of the study is to develop a method of operating geothermal energy systems in the mode without scaling when disposing of flammable gases with geothermal water in wells with a low gas factor.Method. The studies were conducted on the basis of analyzing the content of associated flammable gases in the underground thermal mineral waters of the North Caucasus and Ciscaucasian deposits and assessing the possibility of their utilization and use for heating and hot water supply. In this case, the laws of dissolution and desorption of methane and carbon dioxide from groundwater solutions with the content of scale-forming components, in particular, calcium carbonate, are used.Result. On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the operation of g eothermal systems in the power industry should be carried out after preliminary withdrawal of the maximum possible amount of associated flammable gases from a water solution, while maintaining the content of carbon dioxide in water at a level above the equilibrium value. The scheme of the effective operation of thermal distribution stations with the prevention of carbonate deposits in them is given by using the products of associated gas combustion in the waste water when it is pumped back into the aquifer.Conclusion. As a result of the research conducted, a method of operating geothermal energy systems in a non-salt-scale mode has been developed for utilization of combustible gases associated with geothermal water. It has been established that in order to accelerate the dissolution of carbon dioxide in water to stabilize it before entering heat-exchange equipment, it is advisable to increase the partial pressure of carbon dioxide to values exceeding by an order of magnitude the equilibrium at a given temperature. At the same time, before pumping waste water back into the aquifer, excess carbon dioxide is removed from the water.

We consider one of the existing technologies, scilicet of the multi-shift safety monitoring, which implies tracking of the integrity of the information system (IS) by periodically replacing each other operators in the interval between diagnostics of the system, in relation to computerized boiler-rooms with network access. Herein the IS of the boiler-house is taken into account as protected from dangerous software-engineering influences through the computer network only if to the beginning of the specified period of time the integrity of the system is ensured and throughout this set period the sources of danger do not penetrate the system (with a calculated probability). Here the operator of the boiler-room figures as an eventual link of the series of the controlled, including the program level, barriers for (external) network malefactor. For computerized boiler-houses, depending on the ratios for the duration of the operator’s work during each shift, the specified period of safe operation and the period between diagnostics, three variants are considered that are typical for this technology. The possibilities of applying the latter in the foreshortening of risk assessment of emergency situations (ES) within the previously developed by the author logical-probabilistic model for computerized boiler-houses are discussed.

Geothermal energy is heat taken from below the surface of the earth in the form of either steam or hot water. This energy can be used to generate electricity, but also has use in heating and cooling homes and some direct uses, such as gold mining, food dehydration, and milk pasteurizing. There are four basic types of geothermal power plants including steam, flash, binary, and enhanced geothermal system (EGS). The first three rely on permeable aquifers that have water flowing through them such that hot water or steam can be extracted. EGS, however, extracts heat from deep in the earth by injecting water and creating artificial fractures in the rock. A great deal of the world’s potential for geothermal energy exists in the so-called Ring of Fire, a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean.

The current set of problems in the field of heat power engineering has remained unresolved for many years. Ecological modernization of fixed assets of heat supply enterprises is defined as the main direction of ensuring the activities of regional heat supply systems in this article. The subject of the research is a set of theoretical, methodological and practical issues of the analysis of indicators of the ecological and economic efficiency of the boiler house modernization project. The purpose of the study is to analyze the ecological and economic efficiency of the project for the modernization of boiler houses to replace coal with more environmentally friendly fuels. The study has been carried out using a set of methods: comparative analysis, analysis of structure, financial analysis. The use of solid biofuels makes it possible to reduce the anthropogenic load from heat supply enterprises. The ecological effect consists in the reduction of total emissions into the atmosphere by 69 times or by 321 tons per year of the boiler house on bit fuel compared to a similar boiler house on coal. The economic effect for the boiler house lies in the possibility of saving on fees for the negative impact on the environment, depending on the fuel used. The calculations show that payments for negative impact on the environment have a small share in the cost of steam and hot water production by boiler houses. In this connection, this cannot become a motive for reducing the negative impact. It is necessary to establish standards for the negative impact and waste disposal at a minimum level in order to form a material interest among economic entities in reducing the anthropogenic load on the environment. The author has calculated the environmental and economic indicators of the project for the modernization of regional heat supply systems, based on the transition from using coal as the main fuel. This calculation can become the basis for the state program for the modernization of thermal energy
