TOUGHREACT ECO2N, temperatures higher than 110 ˚C
I am using Petrasim 5.3.1203 for a scenario to inject water and 5% CO2 in a deep geothermal reservoir to examine the mineral interactions and their impact on the fluid flow. The temperature rangeis 128 to 144 ˚C and I'm using TOUGHREACT-ECO2N. As soon as I start running the simulation it halts prematurely due to the fact that ECO2N handles temperatures upto 110 ˚C. Would someone kindly have a suggestion that how I can simulate scenarios with temperatures higher than 110˚C? In advance I really appreciate your input.

The current version of ECO2N has an upper temperature limit of about 110 degrees. A newer module that increases that limit is currently under development. Consider using EOS2, which has a range of 40 < T < 330 degrees, but check for its limitations.
