oPods
Sustainable water movement. No fuel. No grid. Minimal upkeep.
Whether you’re farming fish or running a desal plant, oPods give you reliable, low-maintenance water movement — without the fuel bill.
They act like an air conditioner for your patch of ocean — pulling up cool, oxygen-rich water and delivering it as pressurised flow that can be directed to target locations like pens, intake zones, or reef edges. oPods help stabilise site conditions and reduce the need for complex, energy-intensive infrastructure.
What It Does
Delivers Water Without the Operating Costs
- Powered by waves and sun — no diesel, no grid connection
- Generates steady, pressurised flow to pens, intake points, or reef zones
- Runs continuously with minimal servicing or overhead
Reduces Risk and Improves Site Stability
- Helps maintain cooler water and higher oxygen during heat events
- Reduces fish stress, mortality, and feed loss
- Supports consistent production and longer growing seasons — increasing yield and profit
Simplifies Operations
- Cuts fuel and energy use by replacing active intake pumping with a passive, renewable system
- Reduces wear, maintenance, and energy demand at the front end of your plant
- Helps manage brine discharge without added infrastructure
- Optional: integrate water quality and flow monitoring for better control and reporting
Who It's For
Aquaculture operators
Looking to stabilise site conditions, reduce stress-related losses, and improve consistency across seasons — without increasing overhead.
Desalination teams
Aiming to cut energy use at the intake stage, simplify brine management, and reduce permitting complexity — with less equipment to maintain.
Marine and environmental project leads
Using oPods to support reef cooling, water quality restoration, and ecosystem rewilding through continuous, passive seawater flow.
Sustainability and ESG teams
Implementing solutions that support carbon, reef, and biodiversity credit generation — with measurable outputs and in-water delivery.
