Hydrodynamic testing of an current geothermal properly in Krizevci, Croatia has confirmed heating potential for a posh of public buildings close to the properly.
A sequence of assessments have been achieved on an current geothermal properly within the metropolis of Krizevci in Croatia to find out the traits and parameters of the reservoir required for exploitation. The ultimate purpose of the mission is to make use of the geothermal properly for heating of the complicated of public buildings within the speedy neighborhood of the properly.
Within the Eighties, the Krizevcanka-1 properly was drilled to a depth of round 1500 meters. Based on a 2020 replace (Zivkovic et al, 2020), two faculties, an agricultural faculty with a greenhouse, an open swimming pool, and a fitness center had been positioned close to the properly that may profit from geothermal heating.
A latest set of assessments had been achieved on this properly, indicating a static temperature of 90.4 °C. This was adopted by a hydrodynamic check utilizing a pump put in at 300m and 500 m depth, with check achieved at 4 manufacturing situations – 5, 7.4, 9.5, and 15 L/s. The dynamic stage of geothermal water was secure beneath all manufacturing situations, and the best recorded temperature on the wellhead beneath hydrodynamic situations was 79.5 °C.
Based on preliminary estimates, the assessments point out the potential of producing 3 MWth from the properly.
The subsequent steps of the mission intention to find out the boundaries and distribution of the geothermal useful resource, in addition to the dynamics of extraction for utilizing the thermal power.
There are two initiatives beneath the present geothermal initiative in Krizevci, each of that are co-financed as a part of the Monetary Mechanism of the European Financial Space within the quantity of virtually EUR 1 million. These initiatives are entitled “Improvement of technical documentation for using geothermal power within the space of the Metropolis of Krizevci” and “Institution of a system for the manufacturing of geothermal power within the space of the Metropolis of Krizevci.”
The holder of the latter mission is the Metropolis of Krizevci with companions Krizevci doo (a municipal firm) and the Icelandic firm EFLA hf.
The geothermal sector of Croatia has been very lively these days with vital milestones reached in Bjelovar, Babina Greda, and Varazdin all inside the previous couple of months.
