Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a high temperature electrochemical installation, comprising:
  • the installation is intended to carry out a high yield water electrolysis to be able to generate hydrogen with great efficiency from electrical power.
  • the installation is particularly adapted to produce hydrogen when the power produced by carbon-free sources of energy, such as renewable or nuclear sources, is not directly needed by the power grid to which the carbon-free energy source is connected.
  • the hydrogen can then be used to produce electrical power, for example in fuel cells, when carbon-free sources of energy do not operate or to complement the electrical power supplied by the carbon-free sources of energy if this power is not sufficient to supply the power grid.
  • the hydrogen can also be used as a feedstock for other chemical processes.
  • HTE high-temperature electrolysis
  • SOEC solid-oxide electrolysis
  • the electrolysis cells are assembled in series and form stacks.
  • the stacks are coupled with a balance of plant (BOP) which manages all the incoming fluids (in particular steam, electricity, air/nitrogen) and outgoing fluids (hydrogen and oxygen).
  • BOP balance of plant
  • High temperature electrolyzers operate with a good electric efficiency, for example in the order of 40 kWh/kg of produced hydrogen. This is especially noteworthy when compared to low temperature electrolyzers (alkaline or PEM technologies) for which, the electric energy required by the most efficient electrolyzer stacks ranges from 50 kWh/kg to 60 kWh/kg of produced hydrogen.
  • high temperature electrolyzers need to be fed with steam, whereas low temperature electrolyzers are configured to electrolyze liquid water.
  • steam In the absence of source of "free" steam in the vicinity of the high-temperature electrolyzer, steam must be formed on site and the global energy yield is decreased, because the equivalent of 5kWh/kg of hydrogen is required to vaporize the liquid water into steam.
  • purified water in particular desalinated water, must be used in the electrolyzers to avoid production issues.
  • a seawater desalination plant or a dirty water purification plant is required to produce enough purified water with the expected grade.
  • Seawater desalinization and more generally, water purification is an energy extensive process, which requires at least a few kWh per meter cube of water.
  • reverse osmosis is configured to convert electricity and seawater into concentrated brines and purified water.
  • Other technologies use thermal energy to convert seawater into concentrated brines and purified water (multi-effect distillation, multi-stage flash distillation, direct contact evaporation, etc.).
  • Forming purified water to be used in an electrolysis process from seawater therefore requires desalinating the water, and condensing it for example by distillation. Such a process is also not energy efficient.
  • One aim of the invention is therefore to provide an electrochemical installation, in which the yield of electrolysis is further optimized, and which can nevertheless be used very efficiently with a source of raw water, in particular marine water or dirty water.
  • the subject matter of claim is an electrochemical installation of the above-mentioned type, characterized by a purified steam production unit, directly connected to the steam inlet, the purified steam production unit comprising a first inlet to receive a heating stream transporting heat from an industrial latent heat source, a second inlet to receive raw water from a source of raw water; the purified steam production unit comprising a raw water heat exchange zone, configured to place the raw water in heat exchange with the heating stream and to at least partially evaporate the raw water to produce the purified steam, at a purified steam outlet, the purified steam outlet being connected to the purified steam inlet without passing through a steam condensing unit.
  • the electrochemical installation according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following feature(s), taken solely, or according to any technical feasible combination:

  • the high temperature electrochemical unit 12 comprises a high temperature electrolyzer 20 and a balance of plant 22 coupled to the high temperature electrolyzer 20 to provide the incoming utilities such as steam 24, electricity 26, and air 27 to the high temperature electrolyzer 20.
  • the balance of plant 22 is also configured to recover all the outgoing products, including an air/oxygen mixture 28 and a hydrogen/water mixture 30 to be separated and purified into hydrogen 32.
  • the high temperature electrolyzer 20 comprises solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) or proton-conducting ceramic membrane cells which are able to operate at high temperatures.
  • SOEC solid oxide electrolysis cells
  • high temperature generally means temperatures above 350°C, more preferably above 550°C, and generally comprised between 650°C and 850°C.
  • the high temperature electrolyzer 20 comprises a plurality of cells which are assembled in series to constitute stacks. All the stacks are coupled with the balance of plant 22.
  • the high temperature electrolyzer 20 thus comprises at least a steam inlet 40, connected to the purified steam production unit 14, and at least an air inlet 42, connected to a source of air 27.
  • the high temperature electrolyzer 20 further comprises at least an oxygen mixture outlet 44, and a hydrogen mixture outlet 46 to recover the products of the electrolysis carried out into the cells of the electrolyzer 20.
  • the high temperature electrochemical unit 12 further comprises a recycling circuit 50, to recycle at least part of the steam separated from the hydrogen water mixture 30 to the steam inlet 40.
  • the latent heat source 16 is able to produce a heating stream 60 to be introduced in the purified steam production unit 14 as a source of thermal power.
  • the latent heat source 16 is for example a concentrated solar plant (CSP) able to heat a receiver (which is a heat-transfer fluid) to be used directly as a heating stream 60, or to heat exchange with the heating stream 60 to provide the heating stream 60 with thermal power.
  • CSP concentrated solar plant
  • the heat-transfer fluid/receiver acquires heat preferably by circulating into a concentrator of the solar farm, in which solar light is concentrated to heat the heat-fluid transfer fluid/receiver.
  • the concentrator uses mirrors or/and lenses with a tracking system to focus a large area of sunlight into a small concentrated area.
  • Concentrated solar technologies comprise for example parabolic trough, concentrated linear Fresnel reflectors, and/or solar power towers.
  • the latent heat source is a nuclear power plant.
  • the heating stream 60 is for example a stream that exchanges heat without contact with a primary fluid circulating into a nuclear power plant, the primary fluid being directly heated by a nuclear source.
  • the heating stream 60 is heated by a secondary fluid of the nuclear plant.
  • the secondary fluid is heated by heat transfer with a primary fluid heated directly by a nuclear source.
  • the nuclear plant is for example a small modular reactor (SMR), having an electrical power output of generally less than 1000 MW thermal.
  • SMR small modular reactor
  • the latent heat source 16 is a chemical plant in which an exothermic reaction takes place.
  • the heating stream 60 is for example directly produced by heat exchange with the reactor in which the exothermic reaction occurs, to cool down the reactor, or/and is produced by indirect heat exchange with a stream which cools down the reactor in which the exothermic reaction occurs.
  • exothermic reaction carried out into a chemical plant is the production of methanol or ammonia, in particular with the Haber-Bosch process.
  • the heating stream 60 is for example a water stream used as a cooling stream in the reactor.
  • the latent heat source is a metal production unit comprised in a metal production plant.
  • the heating stream 60 is produced directly from a cooling stream of the metal production plant, or indirectly by heat exchange with a cooling stream of the metal production plant.
  • the heating stream 60 fed to the installation 10 has a temperature generally above 120°C and preferably comprised between 375°C and 2000°C.

  • the heat exchange zone 76 therefore produces purified steam 24, and a concentrate 78, for example brine.
  • Raw water 72 is for example marine water from a sea, an ocean or a lake.
  • the marine water is saline. It has a salt content greater than 1,000 ppm.

  • the salt content may include NaCI but also other salts.
  • the heat exchange zone 76 is an indirect heat exchange zone between the raw water 72 pumped with the pump 74 and the heating stream 60.

  • the heat exchange zone 76 comprises at least a first inlet 80, connected to the latent heat source 16 to receive the heating stream 60 and a second inlet 82, connected to the source 70 of raw water 72.
  • the steam 24 produced at the heat exchange zone 76, and recovered at the steam outlet 84 is not condensed.
  • the steam 24 is directly injected without intermediate condensation at the steam inlet 40 of the high temperature electrolyzer 20.
  • the installation 10 does not require a steam condensation stage, as opposed to a traditional desalinating plant in which the steam produced by heating and/or distillation of the raw water is condensed.
  • Removing the condensation steps from the purification process and directly using steam 24 into the high temperature electrolyzer 20 makes it possible to directly benefit from the latent heat recovered in the heating stream 60 without having to reheat a purified liquid water which could be produced in a traditional desalinating plant.
  • the coupling between the latent heat source 16, and the purified stream production unit 14 according to the invention is hence extremely efficient to yield the high temperature steam 24 which is needed at the inlet 40 of the high temperature electrolyzer 20.
