1 RENEWABLE WATER Prducing drinkable water withut CO2 emissin : Fr the first time, desalinate water with slar phtvltaic energy withut battery strage, the infinite seawater resurces A cncept and an innvative system 1

2 THE CREATION The meeting f tw entrepreneurs : Marc VERGNET (funder f Grupe VERGNET) 40 years experience in Water (inventr f Vergnet hydrpump) Cyclne-prf wind turbines and slar PV systems in develping cuntries Maxime HAUDEBOURG 20 years experience in agr-industry, reverse smsis and special machinery, in France and internatinal cntext A similar ambitin : innvating t bring slutins

3 THE COMPANY Created the 1st January 2014 in Gellainville (Centre) SAS with a capital f Financing capacity : ( Sharehlders current accunts, and supprt f Bpifrance, Régin Centre, Département d Eure-et-Lir Activities : Slar desalinatin by reverse smsis and nanfiltratin Ambitin : Becming the leader f slar desalinatin

4 TECHNOLOGY : the state f art f slar desalinatin Hundreds f self-standing renewable energy (RE) desalinatin prjects implemented ut f the wrld: Always with battery strage Example in Vanuatu -100m3/day- with 600kWh strage (2014) Very high cst f water: 6 t 8 /m3 Huge cnstraints fr maintenance and envirnment Battery change every 5 t 7 years Active research in RE self-standing desalinatin withut industrial success

5 GENERAL TECHNICAL CONCEPT SOLAR PV Brine Permeate PRETREATEME NT HP REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANES POST- TREATEMEN T Seawater BOOSTER PUMP B ENERGY RECOVERY DEVICE OSMOSUN uses slar phtvltaic energy

6 TECHNOLOGY : OSMOSUN-30 the prf f cncept OSMOSUN-30 30m3/day f prduced water A successful implementatin A prduct f a highly technical nature

7 TECHNOLOGY : Innvatins Three majr innvatins (patented) Flexibility f reverse smsis prcess A simple brine Energy recvery device A new cncept and cntrl f the whle prcess, in best cnditins (lw energy cnsumptin) with a variable water flw due t variable slar energy A new technlgy available

8 OSMOSUN TECHNOLOGY : Management f flexibility parameters Water flw Temperature Pressure Intake water TDS (salinity) Membranes Life cycle Minimum energy cnsumptin TDS permeate Slar energy Recvery New cncept f simultaneus management f the parameters in functin f the slar energy available

9 OSMOSUN TECHNOLOGY Membranes flexibility Evlutindelacnsmatinspécifiquenfnctindurecvery(kWh/m3d'eaudesalée) 12 Evlutin f permeate flw in functin f slar pwer 10 Permeate flw (m3/h) Slar pwer (kw) Permeate water flw can vary frm 1 t 5

10 OSMOSUN TECHNOLOY : Operatin n lw recvery Evlutindelacnsmatinspécifiquenfnctindurecvery(kWh/m3d'eaudesalée) 11 Energy cnsumptin in functin f the recvery (kwh/m3 f permeate) Energy (kwh/m3) OSMOSUN Cnventinal desalinatin plant Recvery (%) The peratin n lw recvery allws a 20% decrease f the energy cnsumptin

11 OSMOSUN TECHNOLOGY: Energy Recvery device with membranes Evlutindelacnsmatinspécifiquenfnctindurecvery(kWh/m3d'eaudesalée) The brine energy recvery allws a 60% decrease f energy cnsumptin. The cnventinal Energy recvery devices cannt be used because f: Flexibility and variable water flw Maintenance in remte areas Rbustness f cmpnents The OSMOSUN Energy recvery device is cmpatible with the slar flexibility, and with high perfrmances and easy maintenance in remte areas

14 TECHNOLOGY : Pressure vessels flexibility In additin t RO Membranes flexibility, OSMOSUN relies n pressure vessels flexibility Use f pressure vessels in regards with slar energy available

15 PRODUCTS OF MASCARA Seawater desalinatin Tday, OSMOSUN (30 t 100 m3/day) In 2017, 30 t 1000 m3/day) Brackish water desalinatin Surface water treatment Slar desalinatin systems fr renewable water

16 PERFORMANCES Energy cnsumptin: lwer than 3 kwh/m3 Operating : 6 t 10 hurs per day 0,6 à 0,8 kwp phtvltaic per m3 f water / day 4 t 6 m2 f slar panels per m3 f water / day Perfrmances equivalent t the mst advanced cnventinal desalinatin plants

17 COMPETITIVITY The cmpetitiveness is based n high decrease f the csts f slar phtvltaic (a kwh between 8 and 10 cts) OSMOSUN : A pay-back perid lwer than 5 years (including slar PV investment) A direct cst f water prductin f 1,5 /m3 Desalinated water t an accessible price
