Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a geothermal utilization system that recovers a silica component from hot water prior to return to the underground using a more simply structured silica recovery device to reduce silica concentration in the hot water and is capable of reducing disposal cost of the recovered silica component.SOLUTION: This geothermal utilization system 1 separates a geothermal fluid from a production well 8 into steam and hot water by a steam-water separator 2, drives a turbine utilizing separated steam to generate electricity, and returns separated hot water from a return well 21 to the underground. The system 1 includes: a surfactant addition means 26 for adding a surfactant; a solid matter collection means 28 for collecting precipitated solid matter; a silica recovery device 5 for recovering a silica component from separated hot water prior to return to the underground; and a silicalite synthesis furnace 6 for synthesizing silicalite from a templating agent and a silica component recovered by the silica recovery device 5.
