OFFSHORE ENERGY & WATER SYSTEMS A NEW BUSINESS FOR SHIPYARDS FLOATING AUTONOMOUS COST EFFECTIVE ECOLOGICAL DESALINATION UNIT

EXISTING “OLD” SOLUTIONS Desalination of sea water Negative points - Sea water is deep in most islands and wind turbines can be placed on ridges, which requires construction of roads and electricity lines, and introduce disturbances to people. PRODUCTION COST. The process is very energy consuming and if the energy is not produced from RES cause major environmental impact. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT From water intakes (if near the coast), from the chemical treatment of sea water and from the discharge of highly concentrated salt brines that also contain other chemical pollutants.

OUR WAY = NATURAL WAY WIND (windturbine) RESULT SUN (photovoltaics) with a Natural way create an INEXHAUSTIBLE FRESH WATER SPRING SEA (water)

TECHNICAL Challenge : VERY STABLE even under extreme weather conditions Operation with variable power Energy recovery with variable power Without chemical pre-treatment of sea water Unmanned Low cost production of fresh water THE FIRST FLOATING WINDTURBINE IN THE WORLD

INNOVATIONS First floating windturbine worldwide which is also producing potable from sea water Without chemical pretreatment of sea water Can easily integrate any other RES device (wave / tidal energy …) ΕΊΝΑΙ Η ΠΡΩΤΗ ΠΛΩΤΗ ΑΝΕΜΟΓΕΝΝΗΤΡΙΑ ΣΤΟΝ ΚΟΣΜΟ που λειτουργεί σε πραγματικές συνθήκες από το 2006 The first floating, wind powered desalination plant worldwide.

Easily Transportable

TESTED SOLUTION - Floating Ecological Desalination LAUNCHING IN 2006 INITIAL SEA TRIALS 6 Μonths IN AEGEAN SEA from 6/2007 49 MONTHS IN THE WAVES WIND SPEEDS UP TO 120 (design 200) km/hour INNOVATION - PATENTS LLOYD’S Innovation Award, REGIO STARS 2008 Design for 1.000 m3/day Low Production + Maintenance cost = 0,3 €/m3

COMPARISON OF WATER SOLUTIONS Ordinary Desalination = Dirty ECOLOGICAL = Natural AIR POLLUTION Brine (with chemicals) disposed near the coast No fossil fuels, only WIND and SUN, 100% RES Without any chemical pre-treatment of sea water Far away from the coast Without any impact on the island. Transportable, we can place it in any place local people desire and can be easily towed to another place if and when is required. Autonomous Automatic Unmanned operation

ΕΙΚΟΝΑ ΠΡΙΝ ΤΗΝ ΚΑΘΕΛΚΥΣΗ 4 περιφερειακοί κύλινδροι και 1 κεντρικός. Στο κεντρικό υπάρχουν 3 όροφοι με δεξαμενή νερού, μονάδα αφαλάτωσης και μονάδα ελέγχου (αυτοματισμών και ηλεκτρολογικα)

Result = with a Natural way create an INEXHAUSTIBLE FRESH WATER SPRING ECOWINDWATER Ecological Scalable Autonomous, Unmanned Low installation and maintenance costs Transportable Integrated with any RES device - Easily connected to Photovoltaic systems, to wave and tidal energy devices etc..
