Geochemistry and geothermometry of non-volcanic hot springs in West Malaysia

Quartz geothermometers gave equilibrium temperatures ranging from 93 °C in the Ayer Hangat hot spring to 154 °C in the Lojing hot spring. This requires 398 to 649 kJ/kg energy to heat the water suggesting an intermediate enthalpy. These results also pointed out that some of the studied hot springs have potential to generate adequate heat, which could be harnessed for energy generation upon further work to prove their viability.
