Utilizing Ocean Thermoclines to create Freshwater

Utilizing Ocean Thermoclines to create Freshwater

Modular, adjustable trash rack system that can adjust flow while managing debris, sediment, and fish passage.

Final metrics report outlining the successes and areas of improvement for Purdue HCC's outreach efforts.

Modular adaptive trash rack system that reduces debris, improves fish passage, and optimizes head loss for non-powered dams.

Modular-powered louvers guide debris and fish while minimizing head loss, enabling efficient retrofits at non-powered dams.

Using ocean thermoclines to sustainably produce clean water.

We will repurpose a non-powered dam to generate electricity while releasing water in a controlled manner to supply irrigation canals.

This year will combine ocean thermocline energy with wave power to produce sustainable pure water.
