Desalination

Motivation:

Goal7's client was part of a consortium developing a blue and green hydrogen facility in a coastal location. Due to water scarcity in the region, Goal7 were tasked with reviewing options and developing plans for a desalination plant to provide the hydrogen production facilities with water of required purity.

Our Approach:

Goal7 carried out a detailed review of desalination technologies and the associated infrastructure to shortlist and select a preferred solution for the project

• Review of desalination technologies to establish a preferred solution to progress with for the project
• Development of key parameters for the desalination technology and ancillary infrastructure including provisional sizing, site synergies, plant location and layout, power requirements and water consumption
• Undertaking techno-economics for the shortlisted desalination processes for use in the broader economics for the overall project
• Review of environmental considerations including intake/outfall structures, emissions, waste products, chemical usages and regulations
• Collaboration with other contractors to assist with plant layouts and power demand developments
• Consolidated list of future considerations to be taken into account during the next phase of the project
• Identification of potential collaboration opportunities for operating the desalination plant

Benefit and Impact: Provided a full process review and development of base case for onshore desalination as part of a low carbon hydrogen production hub
