About OUR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Sustainability, and technological advancement in desalination and hydroelectric power.
At Khazer, we strive to create a sustainable environment for future generations.
Power Generation Mechanism
At the heart of this design is the ocean pressure that drives a continuous water flow through the tunnel, simulating a waterfall effect. This pressure, which reaches about 150 PSI at 150 meters depth, powers six turbines housed in specialized chambers. The turbines include:
- Upper section: Two 600-megawatt generators.
- Lower section: Four 800-megawatt generators, optimized for energy capture.
The turbines generate a total of 4.4 gigawatts of power, continuously harnessing the ocean’s kinetic energy.
Desalination Process
Beneath the hydroelectric turbines, a reverse osmosis desalination system is integrated. This system includes:
- 120 individual filters housed in a 30m x 10m x 5m chamber.
- Various filtration technologies, including ceramic, UV, and activated carbon filters for enhanced water purification.
The desalination process uses the natural water pressure from the flow to filter seawater, producing freshwater. The brine by-product is sent back to shore for further processing, where it is converted into solid minerals for industrial use.
Service and Main Tunnel Configuration
A 6m x 6m service tunnel connects various system components, allowing personnel and equipment access for maintenance. It also facilitates:
- Electricity transmission: Power from the turbines is channeled to the grid or local networks.
- Brine transport: Brine waste is conveyed back to shore for further processing.
Micro-generators along the tunnel capture additional energy from this flow.
3- SHORE-BASED RESERVOIR OR CONFINED AQUIFERS
The shore-based reservoir plays a critical role in the desalination system, serving as a secure storage facility for the freshly desalinated water. It is designed with advanced lining and sealing mechanisms to prevent any contamination from groundwater, ensuring that the water remains pure and safe for consumption. The reservoir’s capacity is optimized to regulate supply and demand fluctuations, providing a buffer during peak usage periods or maintenance cycles.
To maintain a steady and controlled distribution, high-efficiency pumps are installed, which monitor and adjust flow rates based on real-time demand. These pumps are integrated with smart sensors and automated controls, allowing for seamless regulation of water output, reducing energy consumption, and minimizing losses.
In addition to direct distribution through municipal pipelines, the system offers an alternative approach: recharging underground aquifers. This process helps replenish rapidly depleting groundwater reserves, which are vital for long-term water security, particularly in regions suffering from chronic water shortages. The Khazer system is designed to mimic natural infiltration processes, ensuring gradual and even percolation to prevent land subsidence and maintain ecological balance.
By integrating both surface storage and subsurface recharge, this system maximizes the efficiency of desalinated water use, addressing immediate consumption needs while contributing to sustainable groundwater management.
