A portable desalination system by London-based business QuenchSea to transform salt water into drinkable water.

Why is Quench Sea? to develop the world’s first portable desalination system that is affordable and useful for emergency use, traveling, and humanitarian relief

To solve the global water crisis by 2027, QuenchSea has committed to donating 100 million Quench Sea Devices.

The creators of the hydro wind energy company QuenchSea

Hydro Wind Energy, a Dubai-based energy company, is the owner of QuenchSea, a startup company in London. The company, which consists of a group of designers, environmental engineers, and fundraisers, is motivated by a moral obligation to save the environment, in the words of its website. The team is led by Lee King, the CEO of the startup’s initial product, QuenchSea, and Hydro Wind Energy. QuenchSea is now raising money on Indiegogo.

Materials & Techniques: Silicone and Plastic

QuenchSea utilizes a hydraulic system, a tiny reverse osmosis membrane, and a triple pre-filtration process housed inside of what appears to be primarily plastic casing to desalinate saltwater into freshwater using human power draw water through a silicone tube. A reverse osmosis membrane, integrated ultrafiltration, and microfiltration system remove salts from seawater while removing suspended particles, pathogens, parasites, and microplastics. An advanced activated carbon filter ensures that the taste and odor are agreeable and edible.

Portable, aesthetically pleasing design

QuenchSea, which is black and metallic blue, resembles a hybrid of a projector, a future power tool, and a regular iron because of its size. The device has a reasonably ergonomic form with a rounded grip built into its prism-like shape and weighs less than a kilogram, which contributes to its advertised portability.

Users pull a telescoping lever coupled to a built-in pump inside QuenchSea to draw water in while sliding out a footpad to hold it in position. Water is drawn through QuenchSea’s triple filtering system by pulling back and forth on the lever. And it is then sucked into the selected vessel through a second silicone tube.

Fresh water is available everywhere

QuenchSea claims that under ideal circumstances, it can create 3liters of water each hour, with the product meeting WHO criteria. It has an influence by enabling global access to fresh, clean water. Reverse osmosis, a unique kind of filtration, lies at the heart of this process. It employs a semi-permeable, thin membrane with pores that are small enough to let pure water through but large enough to reject pollutants like germs and dissolved salts.

The development of the device took the QuenchSea team more than a year. To donate and distribute 100million units by 2027 at a lower cost, it’s currently working to achieve economies of scale. The organization aims to assist ease the global water problem over the next seven years through local and large-scale operations.

Design remembrance – QuenchSea sees the need to act quickly to address the global water crisis

By 2050, the United Nations predicts that more than half of the world’s population will reside in areas with limited water resources. In response to this issue, QuenchFirst has developed an affordable solution to the water shortage and has set a bold, audacious goal of having an impact on more than 1 billion people worldwide.

Each full-priced order will also contribute to the saving of lives elsewhere in the globe; because the company includes a second device for use by partners in the humanitarian clean water sector.
