SEADOV Technology

Seadov technology uses a novel combination of renewable energy and marine technology to bring about the cost effective production of desalinated potable water.

The reverse osmosis (RO) desalination process/plant is powered by GREEN energy produced on board the Seadov vessel. Subject to site location, wave, solar, wind and tidal energy devices may be used to harness the available prevailing natural energy surrounding the site.

Seadov vessels are typically located at least 10 km off shore where they create no noise or visual pollution problems and where the residual brine is easily and safely disposed of. The potable water produced on a Seadov vessel is pumped to shore for final treatment prior to injection into the local water grid.

For maximum reliability, Seadov vessels deploy only proven renewable energy devices/systems and in conjunction with a number of novel methods (patents pending) the vessel is manoeuvred to optimise power output for the production of potable water.

The home page Seadov animation may be accessed to better appreciate the novel systems deployed to maximise Seadov’s output. Traditional on-shore desalination plants depend on mains electrical power which generates significant levels of CO2. The breakthrough with Seadov is the effective adaptation of renewable energy devices within a marine environment to cost-effectively produce potable water for coastal regions in most parts of the world.
