The movement of the waves produce relative rotational motion between the hull and float.

Unlike other wave energy converters, Azura extracts power from both the heave (vertical) and surge (horizontal) motions of waves to maximize energy capture.

Such motion avoids “hard endpoints” making it less prone to conventional wear and tear.

Azura’s desalination systems are to be offered in two permutations.

A: Potable water only for customers with water supply priority.

B: Power in combination with water.

Often areas requiring potable water (apart from mainland areas)additionally have limited or unreliable power supply resources.

This gives the Azura flexibility in meeting different customer requirements

Azura’s desalination units integrate proven Parker Reverse Osmosis technology with a new hybrid hydraulic drive system (HDS). Azura drives this process directly from wave energy – with no intermediary conversion to electricity required – thus significantly raising production efficiency by minimising loss. This is a first for the water purification industry and unique to Azura

The desalination device can be deployed in locations with low fresh water resources be it ongoing or emergency.  The required locations for the desalination product have been identified as:

• Small islands with limited fresh water resources.
• Island communities experiencing rising salinity in their water tables
• Mainland communities facing drought
• Offshore installations
• Natural disaster relief
