A key focus of the project is the sustainable use of water. Instead of relying on scarce freshwater resources, treated water from a local wastewater treatment plant is used as a feedstock. This “treated effluent” undergoes an innovative, multi-stage purification process, in which it is further cleaned and processed to produce ultrapure water with no remaining minerals. Technologies such as ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis are applied in this process.
The resulting ultrapure water can then be used for hydrogen production, eliminating the need for drinking water, groundwater, or surface water.
The process wastewater remaining after treatment, now enriched with minerals, is discharged—like the treated effluent from the wastewater plant—into the nearby industrial port. This process wastewater not only complies with all regulatory limits applicable to treated wastewater from the local treatment plant, but, due to the multi-stage purification process, has had additional pollutants removed that would otherwise enter the environment.
Domestic wastewater from sanitary facilities is handled separately and discharged, as usual, into the local wastewater treatment plant. In the event of an incident involving contaminated water, technical containment systems are in place to ensure that such wastewater does not enter the environment and can be disposed of safely and properly.
