Oneka's offshore buoys use wave-powered pumping and reverse osmosis to deliver freshwater to shore. Modular arrays can support coastal water-supply projects without electrical-grid power for the desalination process.
Technical detail
Core features
Wave-actuated pumping and reverse-osmosis desalination
Buoy arrays scaled to the intended water requirement
Freshwater pipe connecting offshore production with shore storage or distribution
Desalination
Wave-energy
Use & integration
Recorded applications
Freshwater supply for coastal and remote communities
Low-grid-demand water resilience for ports and islands
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
The Fort Bragg project account records pilot permitting completed by April 2026 for a planned twelve-month demonstration. This is evidence of a permitted pilot, not completed long-term municipal supply.
Commercial availability
Oneka offers water supply as a service. Wave conditions, permitting, shore connections and marine maintenance determine site suitability and the delivery arrangement.

Oneka supplies modular offshore desalination buoys that use wave-actuated pumping and reverse-osmosis membranes to deliver freshwater to shore. The desalination process does not require electrical grid supply; the buoy array connects through a freshwater pipe to a distribution network or storage tank. Oneka offers a water-supply service scaled by buoy count; site wave conditions, permitting, distribution and marine maintenance determine the project.
