A PROPOSED TECHNIQUE FOR PRODUCING GREEN HYDROGEN, IN A SUGGESTED HYDROGEN SUPPLY CENTER AT AL-SOKHNA, GULF OF SUEZ
Abstract
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is encouraging global shipping sectors, and seaports to reduce their global warming impacts, by using green fuels, instead of using conventional fossil fuel.
This research suggests new green ecological system for generating green hydrogen from seawater, the research aims to using a Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalinated plant at Al-Sokhna area, combining with a suggested Alkaline electrolysis system, to generate green hydrogen from seawater, where ALK electrolysis is one of the most efficient hydrogen generating tools.
The research methodology used different corrosion indexes to evaluate the suitability of Al-Sokhna seawater region for using as a source of regenerating hydrogen, to avoid any corrosive impacts on both RO and Alkaline electrolysis units.
The research results showed an increase in the calculated corrosion indexed values, which mean that there will be some corrosive impacts on the suggested RO and Alkaline electrolysis systems.
The research recommended using of debris filter combined with the injection of different anticorrosion chemical agents (polyphosphates) before the inlet of the suggested RO and alkaline electrolysis units, to avoid any fouling and corrosive impacts may be occurring. It also recommended applying different economic evaluation techniques, used for the proposed RO and Alkaline electrolysis units.
