Who we are: A small company investigating the creation of a pressurized submarine Reverse Osmosis desalination module that will use the ocean's hydrostatic pressure at depth (around 600m) to provide fresh water at lesser energetic and environmental costs. The module will be linked to a surface module anchored to the sea bottom to make it stable, and the fresh water will be pumped to the surface after desalination. What we need: We need to prove the feasibility, low energy consumption, and water quality of such a module by creating a small scale prototype that can be tested at depth. Your job will be to design this prototype, not build it. Ideally, we need an engineer with expertise in Reverse Osmosis processes (for desalination or filtration) who will be able to review our early design (in attached files), improve on it with better technology of his/her knowledge, source equipment required to build it, and provide a cost analysis of the module prototype with sources. The deliverable needs to include the design AND the cost analysis spreadsheet with sources so we can use it in ou manufacturing process. The prototype you come up with needs (in theory of course) to prove its ability to produce very high quality fresh water through a reverse osmosis process using hydrostatic pressure and very little energy. It also needs to maximize the quantity of water produced compared to its size, and have a continuous pumping of fresh water to the surface so it can produce fresh water with limited downtime. It needs to be functional when built, so think about how to provide electricity to the module and how much energy will be needed per cubic meter of fresh water produced. Please use existing technology and equipment (like off-the-shelf Reverse Osmosis membranes, existing deep sea pressurized housings that can be purchased at the likes of Prevco Inc. or Oceanworks), but don't hesitate to point us towards coming-of-age technologies you might know about. We are available for any question and additional information that might help you design this prototype. Thank you in advance for all your entries!

Thank you for the invitation to bid. I am a mechanical engineer and have been working in fluids mechanics and thermodynamics from past several years. I also have experience in Sea water desalination plant design using MED process and have ready references available with me, required to do the job. However given the project scope and even sourcing is required the project budget is low. Therefore I am bidding an appropriate amount for the same. Best regards Anuj Garg

Yours is an intriguing product. My first engagement would be to clarify the intended market and its size. The preliminary design presented seems too complex, I believe that similar functionality could be attained with less parts and cost, as an example: a concrete cylinder for the resistant structure, no reservoir for fresh water and no cameras. I would like to know on how do you plan to take the fresh water to the shore. In many places of the ocean a deep of 600 mts is attainable only at some hundreds of miles off-shore. Probably barges are more adequate than pipes, but both alternatives would be more expensive than some pumps. The actual technology of membranes is that they are more or less sensitive to fouling. I expect some potential problems with the filtration of sea water to avoid fouling and the control of biofilms growing on membranes. Both problems could be avoided adapting the technology to purify brine (less saltier than sea) in deep wells. It is again a question if the well would not be more expensive than pumps.

Hi there, I'm Randy Robert the inventor of several different types of technologies and products. I have a masters in mechanical engineering, a patent for an electrosurgical instrument, and I have an international company called Garage Beacon which just finished its second round of Kickstarter funding. I have extensive knowledge of both technology, manufacturing, and supplier sourcing (I not only know how to design crazy technology, I also know how to get it manufactured and sourced). I'm on freelancer as a means to generate extra money to help me buy more inventory for my latest project called Garage Beacon. I'm exactly what you're looking for to get a project like this finished up. Cheers!
