Everything beyond the geothermal fluids generally runs into the reinjection system down to the groundwater system in the geothermal | |
reservoir. A hydrogen sulphide abatement unit is located at the plant, | |
which uses the Carbfix process to filter out 75% of the hydrogen | |
sulphide and 30% of the carbon dioxide which is dissolved in the | |
geothermal fluids and conducted into the re-injection system. |
