TI  - Use of geothermal fluid for agricultural irrigation: preliminary studies in BalçovaNarlıdere Geothermal Field (Turkey
AB  - Balçova-Narlıdere Geothermal Field (BNGF) hosts the largest geothermal district heating system of Turkey and several
geothermal wells used for district heating and thermal tourism activities. This study assesses the use of BNGF geothermal fluid for
agricultural activities. The spent geothermal brine was treated using nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes on a pilot-scale
membrane test system. The qualities of the product were evaluated in terms of agricultural irrigation integrated with the implemented
innovative wireless sensor network. It is important to use geothermal fluid, which is consists of valuable minerals, for irrigation. But
when using geothermal fluid in irrigation, the chemical composition of the water must be carefully monitored to prevent damage to
the plants. Nevertheless, the first result shows that the use of geothermal fluid to irrigate is proving to be a promising and economically
viable option in BNGF.
