Wave desalination and power plants designed by Ovsyankin

The Wave desalination and power plants contribute significantly to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Currently, climate change is driving significant increases in water consumption in most countries. Existing desalination technologies require high energy consumption, up to 10 kilowatts (kW) per 1m3 of water. The production of 1 kW of electricity from hydrocarbons leads to emissions of 0.5 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere. Accordingly, up to 5 kg. CO2 per 1m3 of fresh water is produced.

Therefore, increasing the production of fresh water by the traditional desalination method significantly increases CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. As a result, it accelerates negative climatic changes.

One wave desalination station (the capacity of which for the ocean water area is up to 1000 m3 per hour of fresh water) will avoid CO2 emissions in the amount of more than 30,000 tons per year.

Wave desalination and power plants operate on the basis of environment-friendly, renewable energy of sea waves and currents. Wave stations are an anchored floating vehicle capable of submerging under water to the required depth during storms, into the zone of action of waves of the design range and continuing to generate fresh water or electricity.
