Project description
International news proves, if proof were still needed, that natural gas storage is a major challenge to meet demand and avoid the risk of shortages. Among the techniques used, salt cavern storage has many advantages. Nevertheless, there is a need for R&D on the storage of dihydrogen in salt caverns in order to demonstrate the safety of the gas with respect to interactions with the micro-organisms present in the brines at the bottom of these storages.
The H2P-H2 project aims to study the effectiveness of the application of electrical discharges in salt cavities for the treatment and prevention of these micro-organisms. More precisely, it will be a question of evaluating, at the same time, the characteristics of the pressure wave generated by electric arc and the duration of treatment necessary to obtain a destructive and curative effect on these micro-organisms.
