Pipe scaling is a common problem in geothermal power plants. Currently, the pipeline withinside the Karaha Telaga Bodas geothermal subject is indicated to incorporate scale because of pressure anomalies. On-stream pipe scale inspection techniques are needed to maintain the production process. This r...
