Water sourcing and treatment
Water availability, treatment requirement, rejection losses and competing local demand.
Electrolysis consumes water directly and requires it purified to a high standard, so real consumption exceeds the theoretical figure because treatment rejects a portion. In water stressed districts this is usually the constraint that decides the project, and it is the one most often examined last.
What this includes
- Source identification and availability over the year
- Purity requirement for the chosen electrolyser
- Treatment design and rejection loss estimate
- Competing agricultural and drinking demand assessment
- Discharge and brine handling
- Recommendation where water cannot be secured responsibly
- What you receiveOutput
- Water plan with source, treatment design and sustainability assessment
- When you need itTiming
- Immediately after offtake, before site is committed.
Costing water at municipal rates and ignoring treatment rejection. Actual consumption is materially higher than the reaction stoichiometry suggests.
