Provided is a scale suppressing device which can, with a safe method, suppress generation of silica scale and calcium scale in influent water containing at least a silica component and a calcium component; also provided are a geothermal power generation system using said scale suppressing device, and a scale suppressing method. This scale suppression device is provided with a chelating agent and alkaline agent adding device (40) which injects a liquid containing a chelating agent and an alkaline agent into a pipe (L1) through which influent water such as geothermal water passes, and with a control device (11) which controls a valve (7) and a pump (8) of the chelating agent and alkaline agent adding device (40). The control device (11) performs control for alternately switching between injection and non-injection of the chelating agent and the alkaline agent on the basis of a signal outputted from a scale detection device (60) which detects the amount of scale deposition. |
