U.S. firm mulls building geothermal power plant from Sidoarjo mudflow

Well 40-60 C is bloody ambient in Sidoarjo so that isn't the source of the energy. I've looked at some of the low pressure non condensing turbines which will tick along at 8 or 9 bar (175-180C) and whilst they are nowhere near as efficient as high pressure condensors, no one much cares because the energy is free.

To run at 9 bar they would need to collect at 100-150 metres. Remember that this thing is self perpetuating and that the entropy is what is creating kinetic energy in the shape of 40000 m3 of jallop a day.
