Oneka City of Fort Bragg Desalination
For the pilot project, an Iceberg-class unit, the 9th generation of this technology which has been refined over seven years in the ocean environment, will be deployed along the Fort Bragg coast. During the pilot project, one Iceberg-class unit is expected to produce up to 13,200 GPD (50 m3/day) over a 12-month period while emitting zero greenhouse gases and saving 1 ton of CO2e per year for each m3 of fresh water produced daily, compared to diesel-powered desalination plants. The goal of this demonstration project is to display the benefits of Oneka’s desalination technology, on all facets of sustainable development – social, economic and environmental, representing a first stepping stone to address challenges of water security for Fort Bragg, as well as other coastal communities. Energy harvested is used directly for reverse osmosis.
