Resolute Marine Wave2O

Wave2O™ technology is a proprietary seawater desalination process that couples Resolute Marine’s wave energy converters with onshore desalination and electricity generating plants. While this solution has been designed with simple operation and maintenance in mind, it incorporates several innovative and patented technologies. Resolute Marine’s mission is to significantly improve access to water for coastal populations and industrial/agricultural operations in developing countries and small island developing states (SIDS) and to displace the diesel-electric desalination system that are in common use worldwide. The key technologies that enable Wave2O™ have been validated in a series of tests which have proven to be reliable and cost-effective to produce clean water in multiple places and across multiple uses around the world. Resolute Marine WEC is a submerged, bottom mounted hinged flap design. As swell passes overhead the flap will oscillate back and forth. In 2012 the UNC-Coastal Studies Institute provided valuable support for the ¼-scale ocean test program at Jennette’s Pier in Nags Head, NC.
