We have developed a patented technology to entirely remove the need of membranes, reducing the cost of the osmotic technology by 50% - 80%. Put simply, we use evaporation to do the same job as the membranes. Using the centrifugal force by rotating the cylinder head, we are able to simulate semi-permeable membranes initial purpose in traditional osmotic power systems. The ejected brackish water through the water outlet evacuators sustain the RPM needed for the turbine to function, resulting in to energy input to rotate the device.Due to the low pressure inside the turbine head, the fresh water is literally sucked in the central cylinder and up into the turbine head. The salt water arrives in the turbine head through the lateral / exterior cylinder by being pumped directly from a salt water source. The external cylinder is in rotation while the central cylinder remains static.
Our invention is based on solving the main drawback of osmotic power which is the use of semi-permeable membranes. We entirely remove this expensive and sensitive component from the process, resulting in a highly efficient and green source of power which can be harnessed anywhere in the world where fresh and salt water mix. We are the only ones using this method and have patents to protect this in USA, China, Russia, Bangladesh and are patent pending in Brazil and Canada.
