The engineering and design of PERFORM platform is complete

The PERFORM consortium has worked on the engineering and design of the platform. These activities were carried out by Hysytech and started with the collection of the information provided by the partners and ended with the finalisation of the detailed engineering package.

The engineering package itself includes the piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID), the safety analysis (HAZOP), the specification lists of the elements (equipment, instrumentation, and valves), the electrical and automation system design and the mechanical design.

In addition, the electrolysis and electrodialysis units are currently being manufactured in the Hysytech workshop. Subsequently, the two units will be installed and commissioned at TNO’s facilities, where, together with the rest of the DSP units, the TRL6 test campaign will be carried out.

PERFORM Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) and Market Assessment

In Work Package (WP) 6, led by AVA BIOCHEM, the economics of the PERFORM project will be assessed, as well as the market where the technology is developed for. The results of these will be input for the exploitation plan of WP 7. All these tasks are very closely related to WP 3 and WP 4, where the system platform innovation is set up and the power platform is demonstrated (main innovations of the project). A major partner during the whole process of TEA is University of Hohenheim, who is doing the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
