Methods to harness the power from acid wells in the Krafla geothermal field are considered. These contain a high level of Cl and their pH<5. Drilling in the past several years indicates that most of the Krafla geothermal field is acidic below 2200 m depth. To further develop the field it is necessary to find methods to harness the power of acid wells. Possible methods are evaluated and preliminary results are discussed.
