Product description
Wave2OTM is a groundbreaking desalination system that harnesses the power of ocean waves to produce fresh drinking water in coastal and island communities. The system consists of a nearshore wave energy converter (WEC) that captures mechanical wave motion and drives a hydraulic pump system on land. This hydraulic pressure powers a standard reverse osmosis (RO) desalination unit, eliminating the need for external power sources such as diesel generators or chemical additives.
The modular design of Wave2OTM allows for scalability to meet water demands ranging from small villages to municipal levels. It is specifically designed for areas with unreliable infrastructure and high vulnerability to climate change, providing a sustainable solution to water scarcity. The system is low maintenance and built to withstand harsh marine environments, with onboard telemetry and smart monitoring for optimal performance and water output.
Wave2OTM operates off-grid, making it carbon-free and environmentally friendly. By reducing the reliance on traditional desalination methods, it offers a lower lifecycle cost and a reduced environmental footprint. This sustainable, circular model ensures water security for communities while supporting disaster relief efforts, humanitarian water projects, and remote infrastructure development.
