geothermal fluid management

Geothermal fluid management involves handling the hot water and steam generated from underground heat sources used for energy. After its energy is extracted, the fluid must be carefully managed to prevent environmental impacts, such as contamination or land subsidence. This includes re-injecting used fluids back into the earth to sustain geothermal reservoirs, treating or disposal of excess fluids, and monitoring fluid quality. Proper management ensures efficient energy production, minimizes environmental risks, and promotes the sustainability of geothermal resources for long-term use.
