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

2. 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.

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

4. 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

5. 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.

6. Easily Transportable

7. 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 m3/day
Low Production + Maintenance cost = 0,3 €/m3

8. 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

9. 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)

10. Result = with a Natural way create an INEXHAUSTIBLE FRESH WATER SPRING
