Revolutionizing Wastewater Treatment with Green Hydrogen in Northern Ireland
Key Ideas
- CPH2's MFE technology operating in Belfast's NI Water site shows 15% reduction in aeration time, 31% increase in ammonia removal, and 13% lower energy consumption, leading to enhanced efficiency.
- Efficiency gains also enable increased capacity and reduced sludge transportation and disposal, contributing to cost reductions for NI Water.
- Commercialization of fuel cell-grade green hydrogen as a byproduct offers additional economic benefits, potentially transforming waste treatment processes globally and reducing carbon emissions in industry and transport.
- The project highlights the scalability and replicability of CPH2's technology, demonstrating the significant positive impact of incorporating green hydrogen in wastewater treatment processes.
Clean Power Hydrogen plc shares the success story of Lagan MEICA's project at Northern Ireland Water's site in Belfast, where high purity oxygen produced from an MFE electrolyser is revolutionizing wastewater treatment. The MFE technology has led to notable efficiency gains, including a 15% reduction in aeration time, 31% increase in ammonia removal, and 13% decrease in energy consumption. These improvements not only optimize treatment processes but also result in increased operational capacity and decreased costs related to sludge management. Additionally, the production of fuel cell-grade green hydrogen for sale further enhances the commercial viability of the project. This groundbreaking initiative sets a precedent for the use of green hydrogen in waste treatment plants worldwide, offering a sustainable solution to reduce carbon emissions. By showcasing the successful implementation of CPH2's technology in Northern Ireland, the potential for wider adoption and positive environmental impact is underscored, positioning green hydrogen as a key player in the transition towards sustainable practices.
