Proposing design for fabrication and manufacturing of a scaling device as additive manufacturing-based (AM) scaling solution for geothermal power generation facilities working from high enthalpy to low enthalpy. We anticipate novel technology development, producing higher reduction in scaling issues in wellhead to downstream lines of geothermal fluid flow, further resulting in optimized thermal conductivity, higher enthalpy, reduced costs, and higher efficiencies. The fabrication techniques include 3D printing (AM) of the novel device with specialized engineered material sustainable at higher temperatures and pressures.
