Wave Energy Desalination System By: Michael Casebier Vincent Fiamengo Kenny Se Ericson Capitulo Wilfred Salvador Dr. Josh Hamel Group 11
2
Overview What is Desalination? – Multi-Stage Flash Distillation – Electro-Dialysis – Reverse Osmosis
3
Problem Statement (Client’s Need) What? – On an anchored boat with no electricity or fuel, there is a lack of a way to produce safe drinking water. – Wave energy can be used to produce the power needed for desalinization of water Who? – The client is an owner of a 55ft wooden ketch and the need is to have a desalination system for his boat.
4
Osmosis Diffusion of water or other solvents through a membrane. A low and high concentrated solvent are separated by a membrane. The low concentrated solvent passes through the membrane, weakening the strength of the concentrated solution.

6
Reverse Osmosis Opposite of Osmosis – High Concentration → Low Concentration – Separation of Solute and Solvent Pressure must be applied, usually around 800 psi The size of the solutes prevents them from passing through the membrane.

8
Applications of Reverse Osmosis Water and Waste Water Purification – Rain Water Food Industry – Fruit Juice Concentrates – Milk Concentrate – Whey Protein – Reduction of Shipping Cost Aquariums – Chemicals may be harmful to fish – Mixtures of salt water concentration
9
Applications of Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Purification – Removes unwanted chemicals and minerals – Usually used in combination with other purification processes Sediment Filter Carbon Filter (organic and chlorine removal) Reverse Osmosis Optional Second Carbon Filter UV Lamp (further sterilization of microbes)
10
Disadvantages of Reverse Osmosis Brine Membrane Maintenance Very Small Yield
11
Wave Energy Waves are created from wind and pressure differentials Surface Waves Wave Energy used in – Desalination Plants – Power Plants
12
Advantages of Wave Energy Energy is “free” (no fuel required) Not very expensive to operate and maintain Can produce a good amount of energy
13
Disadvantages of Wave Energy Dependent on waves Site specific
14
Extracting Energy from Waves Vertical Motion Horizontal Motion Energy output is dependent on wave height, wave speed, wave length, and water density
15
