Drinking Water without Emission

 

Mission

Drinking water without Emission: Ocean water + Ocean energy = Endless, clean drinking water.

Characteristics

  • Desalination device, hooked to very efficient buoys (unique technology) as a power source.
  • Located offshore (NO visibility, NO shore damage).
  • Produce potable water without electricity (NO CO 2 ) .
  • Low water cost (NO electricity, NO sucking seawater to shore, NO pumping brine to sea).

Industry background

  • Global annual market of $500B.
  • Desalination industry: 15,000 plants, producing 32,000,000 cubic meter and grow 12% a year (2006).
  • Proposed cluster can work as a standalone device for small communities and as much as a "farm" of clusters for big cities or islands.

Business

  • Selling water NOT facilities!
  • Clients: governments, national agencies, UN, municipalities, islands, resorts, etc.

Technology

  • Reverse Osmosis: cost breakdown Carbon footprint costs/credits: 4 kWh/m 3 = 3.8 Kg CO2 = 0.06 € (~15 € /ton) = 0.10 $/m.
  • Differentiators: efficient buoy technology (confidential) harness more wave energy (5-12 times then commercials).
  • Device is closer to shore: 500-1,500 meter offshore (compared to 2-6 km).
  • Pressure seawater Vs. production of electricity to run HP pumps.
  • Will not emit CO2 during desalination.
  • Produce low cost potable water.

Commercial Desalination Farm (All data for 4 meter diameter buoys, for 5 meter add ~40%)

  • “Farm” built as an array of modular clusters.
  • Barge: 4 floats, harness the wave power, high pressure seawater.
  • Each barge is designed to produce 100,000 - 250,000 cubic meter/year of drinking water, seabed area of ~250 square meter .
  • "Farm” deliver drinking water to customers via undersea marine pipe.
  • Chemical Free” Process

Summary

  • Drinking water are totally “green”, NO electricity and absolutely NO CO 2 footprint.
  • Ocean water + Ocean energy = Clean potable water
  • We predicts very short ROI.
  • This is The Future of Renewable Potable Water

 

To combat the rising sea levels we construct thousands of desalination plants to suck up the water
