AQUAWAVE · INTELLIGENT MARINE WATER TREATMENT

Clean water, always.
Connected ship, anywhere.

AquaWave unifies desalination, sewage treatment and a vessel network hub. AI-driven water management with Starlink-ready connectivity — built for the open sea.

One system for the two hardest things at sea

Treatment & cost

Modular purification and sewage units — compact, corrosion-proof, motion-tolerant. Far cheaper per ton than bottled supply or port disposal.

Onboard AI

Water quality forecasting, closed-loop dosing, predictive maintenance and energy optimization — models run on the edge, smart even offline.

Vessel network hub

Ship-wide LAN/WiFi with Starlink / 4G / 5G multi-link backhaul, edge computing and store-and-forward sync for remote operations.

Marine-grade

Not land equipment bolted onto a ship — born for the sea

A vessel is the harshest operating environment: constant motion, salt spray, cramped spaces, and no repair crew offshore. AquaWave is engineered marine-first, from structure to firmware.

Motion & vibration proof

Damped mounting and reinforced piping, built for continuous rolling, pitching and engine vibration.

Salt-spray resistant

316L stainless wetted parts with marine-grade coating, designed against C5-M corrosion class.

Compact footprint

Cabinet-style integration from 0.4 m² with front-door access — friendly to tight engine rooms.

Quiet running

Low-noise pump sets on isolation mounts, acceptable next to accommodation areas.

Unmanned operation

Fully automatic with self-diagnostics and remote operations — less onboard attendance.

One-person service

Front-access quick-release consumables; filters and membranes swapped single-handed, no port call needed.

Process

From seawater to potable in five steps

Every stage is hardened for marine duty: motion-tolerant hydraulics, corrosion-proof wetted parts, AI-tuned operating points.

  1. 1

    Intake

    Sea chest intake with coarse screening of debris and marine life

  2. 2

    Pre-treatment

    Multi-media + precision filtration protecting the membranes

  3. 3

    RO desalination

    High-pressure pump + membranes, ≥ 99.3% salt rejection (illustrative)

  4. 4

    Post-treatment

    Remineralization + UV sterilization for potable taste

  5. 5

    Supply / reuse

    Potable water to accommodation; reclaimed water for deck washdown

Product matrix

From intake to discharge, fully covered

Three product lines — purification, sewage and connectivity — combined per vessel type and tonnage.

The cost math

Why onboard production wins

No hand-waving numbers — look at the cost structure. Two supply models, two very different ledgers.

Supply-based water

  • The water itself
  • Logistics & storage
  • Port-call time cost
  • Sewage disposal fees
  • Price swings & supply risk

Every line floats with route, port and fuel prices

AquaWave onboard production

  • Energy
  • Filter & membrane consumables
  • AI-optimized, need-based maintenance

Simple structure, predictable cost

A simple cost structure is a controllable one. How much you save depends on your vessel, route and consumption — we'd be glad to run the numbers for you.

FAQ

Six questions every shipowner asks

How much installation space is needed?

Cabinet-style design: the P-5 takes 0.4 m² and the P-20 about 1.2 m² (illustrative). Front-door service means no side clearance — a corner of the engine room is enough.

Does it work without Starlink?

Yes. The equipment runs autonomously, with 4G/5G backhaul near shore. A Starlink deck antenna can be added anytime — the hub is pre-wired for it, no changes to the treatment unit.

Can existing vessels be retrofitted?

Yes. We survey space, plumbing, power and cabling, then propose a plan. The Link network hub can also be retrofitted alone — connectivity first, intelligence next.

Is maintenance complex or costly?

Filters and membranes are front-access quick-release, swappable by one person. AI schedules replacements by actual water quality — no over-servicing. Consumables cost far less than bottled supply; ask us for a tailored breakdown.

Does discharge meet IMO requirements?

The S-series is designed against IMO MEPC.227(64) with compliant effluent limits; class certification is in progress — certificates prevail.

What if the link drops mid-ocean?

Edge autonomy: control and AI inference run entirely onboard, so treatment never depends on the link. Data is cached locally and synced when connectivity returns.
