Purenco AS - formerly Straumekraft AS - has developed a promising new
technology that
solves the most significant challenges in wave energy. The Purenco’s WEC (wave energy converter) is designed for surviving extreme waves, and at the same time being highly efficient in average waves.
First priority for Purenco is to use the technology to
produce freshwater through reverse osmosis (RO). Integrating existing RO-technology with Purenco’s WEC is technologically and economically very attractive to customers and investors, and may become a profitable business in in 2–3 years or sooner.
