Concept rendering of a Liv Fresh unit floating at sea at sunrise

Drinking water from the sea, powered by the sea.

Liv Fresh's modular units turn the motion of ocean waves into the energy that desalinates seawater, with zero grid electricity, zero greenhouse-gas emissions and zero land.

Meet the Liv Fresh unit.

A floating desalination unit that draws its power from the sea it stands in.

Power from every swell.

Moored to the sea floor, the unit rides the swell. Flexible wave energy converters capture variable wave intensities, solar and wind top them up, and graphene supercapacitors store the surplus for calm spells.

Seven technologies, one unit.

Wave energy, hybrid power, supercapacitor storage, AI control, graphene-oxide membranes, satellite-linked monitoring and a 3D-printed modular body, working together at sea.

Filtered through graphene oxide.

Seawater rises through nanomembranes that cut the energy, cost and downtime of filtration.

Fresh water, delivered.

A pipeline along the sea floor carries fresh water to a collection centre on shore, while sensors report water quality and system health in real time.

Built to multiply.

Light, modular units deploy fast and scale with demand. Each new unit pipes its water to the same collection centre.

How the service works

Water, water everywhere, and less of it to drink.

2.4 billion people live under high water stress.
India is home to 18% of the world's people, but only 4% of its fresh water.
163 million people in India lack safe drinking water.
By 2030, India faces a 50% gap between the water it needs and the water it has.

Desalination already works. It just costs too much, in money, energy and carbon.

Conventional plants: Expensive to build, energy-hungry to run and heavy on CO₂. Liv Fresh is designed to cut the cost of desalinated water by more than half. Projected targets, to be confirmed in pilot deployments.
Basic filtration: Can't meet the scale of a city, an industrial site or a farm.
Manual collection: Labour-intensive, slow and unreliable when it matters most.

Liv Fresh takes a different route: let the sea power its own desalination.

Inside a Liv Fresh unit

Seven technologies, engineered to work together at sea.

Explore the technology

Flexible wave energy converters

Adaptive converters capture variable wave intensities, so production carries on as the sea changes.

Graphene-oxide membranes

Nanomembranes that cut the energy, cost and downtime of filtration.

Supercapacitor storage

Graphene supercapacitors store surplus energy for low-wave periods.

Hybrid energy system

Wave, solar and wind power together keep units running around the clock.

AI control system

Algorithms tune the desalination process to raise output and cut waste.

Real-time IoT monitoring

Satellite-linked sensors report performance and water quality from anywhere.

3D-printed modular design

Light, corrosion-resistant modules that deploy fast, service easily and scale up.

A drought-resistant, fixed-cost water supply that supports your sustainable development goals, and the sea around it.

Eco-friendly brine
Safer water intake
Promotes marine life
Modular and scalable

Built for every coast that runs short of water

Cities and communities

Safe drinking water for coastal towns and the people around them.

Governments and municipalities

Public water supply without the capital cost of a new plant.

Industry

Dependable process water for coastal industrial hubs.

Agriculture

Irrigation that eases the pressure on falling groundwater.

Hotels, resorts and private islands

An independent supply for places far from the mains.

Emergency services

Fast-deploying modules when drought or disaster strikes.

Fresh water as a service. No plant to buy.

Liv Fresh installs, runs and monitors the units. You subscribe to the water at a fixed cost, with nothing to invest up front, and your capital stays free for everything else.

Over 50%: lower cost than conventional desalination plants
25%: lower lifecycle costs, from real-time monitoring
Up to 75%: greater efficiency than one-size-fits-all systems, by tuning output to each sector

Projected targets, to be confirmed in pilot deployments.

How Water-as-a-Service works

From pilot to global

1
Development

Finalise the unit design and optimise performance for real-world pilots.
2
First pilots

Small-scale field tests in Gujarat to validate performance, efficiency and adaptability.
3
Early adoption

Scale beyond the pilot, gathering outcome and economic data to prove the case.
4
Transition to scale

Refine proven units and prepare for wider adoption in new markets.
5
Global adoption

Liv Fresh units at work in the countries hit hardest by water scarcity.
