Creating fresh water with wave-powered seawater desalination technology
Ocean Oasis use wave energy to drive an industrial scale desalination process leading fresh water to shore. Drawing on the experience of the Norwegian offshore and maritime industries and Spanish desalination expertise, our experienced team has developed an autonomous floating buoy solution which is both an efficient wave absorber, a suitable platform for a desalination plant, and which is robust in a storm environment.

Creating fresh water with wave-powered seawater desalination technology
Ocean Oasis use wave energy to drive an industrial scale desalination process leading fresh water to shore. Drawing on the experience of the Norwegian offshore and maritime industries and Spanish desalination expertise, our experienced team has developed an autonomous floating buoy solution which is both an efficient wave absorber, a suitable platform for a desalination plant, and which is robust in a storm environment.
A scalable and flexible solution
After many years of technology development, we have a unique understanding of wave energy technology and seawater desalination allowing us to offer water at competitive prices in areas with only moderate available power. By installing fleets of modular and standardized buoys to meet requirements at each location, the solution is both scalable and flexible.
Our sea water desalination system explained
By applying many years of our team’s engineering experience and valuable lessons learned in offshore structures in the rough Norwegian seas, Ocean Oasis has pioneered an ingenious and robust desalination plant that can operate in offshore waters far from land, while delivering vital fresh water to shore.
In the moon pool, a floating disc moves independently from the buoy in response to the wave action. The resulting pressure is captured, accumulated, and applied to the Reverse osmosis of seawater. The produced fresh water is pumped to shore via a flexible pipe. The brine byproduct is disposed of safely into the ocean waters, where it is dissolved, causing no harm to marine life.
Wave power is an underused, natural source of energy.
By using waves to desalinate seawater, it can help to unlock water abundance with a sustainable, scalable and affordable solution. The Ocean Oasis wave-powered seawater desalination technology harnesses the power of the ocean to directly turn seawater into freshwater.
Sustainable, scalable and affordable. Wave energy is used to directly run desalination buoys, resulting in a chemical-free, autonomous, low-maintenance operation. For the team, understanding wave energy technology comes from decades of experience in the Norwegian oil & gas industry, coupled with a desalination project in the Canary Islands.
