Supporting Desalination Where It Hurts Most: Intake and Discharge

Desalination works — but intake and discharge are two of the most expensive and heavily scrutinised parts of the system.

Pulling seawater to the surface takes fuel, power, and pumps that break down. Disposing of brine discharge can require engineered infrastructure, energy, and complex approvals.

That's where we oPod comes in.

What oPod™ Helps You With

Brings in cooler, cleaner water with more stable chemistry and lower biofouling risk

♻️ Disperse Brine Naturally

Helps spread brine into deeper, moving water — lowering impact and easing compliance

deep ocean

🔧 Cut Infrastructure Load

Reduces reliance on high-energy pumps, valves, and discharge hardware

Add-on, Not Overhaul
