Hellisheidi

Everything beyond the geothermal fluids generally runs into the reinjection system down to the groundwater system in the geothermal reservoir. A hydrogen sulphide abatement unit is located at the plant, which uses the Carbfix process to filter out 75% of the hydrogen sulphide and 30% of the carbon dioxide which is dissolved in the geothermal fluids and conducted into the re-injection system.
