The global water treatment chemicals market for geothermal power size is anticipated to reach USD 11.12 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth in utilization of scale control agents can be attributed to their ability to increase efficiency of power generation.

Geothermal water contains many scale and corrosion-forming chemical components such as silica, calcium, potassium, sulfate, hydrogen sulfate, fluoride magnesium, and chloride. It also contains variable concentrations of gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen, as well as smaller quantities of ammonia, boron, mercury, and radon. If this water is left untreated, the mineral-rich geothermal water can cause scaling issues.

Corrosion inhibitors and scale inhibitors are used in industrial water treatment. They are used in geothermal applications. Scale inhibitors limit the precipitation of the scale-forming salts, including calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, and calcium phosphate. Corrosion inhibitors prevent the geothermal machinery from rusting by preventing the formation of a layer of ferrous compounds over the machinery surfaces. The cost of raw materials used to produce water treatment chemicals for geothermal power, like polyphosphates, azoles, aluminum silicate/metal silicate, phosphonates, polyacrylate, and polymaleic acid can significantly affect product prices. Fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials owing to their supply-demand dynamics, availability, or production cost variations can affect the overall prices of water treatment chemicals for geothermal power.
