Application
Aquaculture
Flow-through systems are the most common and sustainable method for land-based aquaculture due to their simplicity—water flows in and out of land-based tanks, effectively extending the sea. While RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture Systems) offer energy savings and water filtration, they are not always the most efficient option.
However, with our Zero Gravity Pump, RAS systems become less effective by comparison. Learn how our solution outperforms RAS in this detailed comparison: RAS versus FTS
Our Zero Gravity Pump uses zero displacement—water is replaced, not lifted. Once the system is filled, replacing 1,000 m³/hour to 10 meters typically requires 40–50 kW (395,000 kWh/year), but our technology reduces this to just 4–5 kW (39,500 kWh/year), a game changing efficiency increase!
Application
Datacenter Cooling
The cheapest way of cooling a data-center is collecting cool water from the sea. Unless you want to submerge your entire facility.
Most facilities are on land, and might introduce lifting water to heights, or use multiple closed loop heat exchangers.
Our technology does not need any heat exchangers. We can transport huge amounts of cool water from the sea, and transport this horizontally from a container to the heat source for cooling.
Our circulation technology is simple and efficient and will potentially reduce your traditional cooling need by up to 90%.

Application
Marble Cutting Cooling
With stone cutting, the process of cutting stone requires a lot of water, not much different to a datacenter but for a different application. To avoid overheating of the cutting tools, the water must be cold. With increased cutting speed the cooling effect must be higher.
Again, our technology can transport cold water from the sea, that can be used for indirect cooling of stone cutting fluid, with an increased efficiency.
The cost savings are high, depending on your operation.
Application
Vertical Hydroponics
Vertical hydroponics are considered a utopia, due to the amounts of waters circulating vertically.
This can change, and our technology, can circulate nutrition rich water to the hydroponic plants growing vertically.
Vertical farming is not new, but if you want to scale thing up, to feed a growing population, energy will be vital.
Our technology can provide a great vertical circulation system, and can save up to 90% of this energy for your vertical farm.
Application
Well Boats and Submersible pens
Due to heavy pollution in coastal waters, the aquaculture industry is shifting to submersible net pens in the open ocean. Transporting fish from these depths is a major challenge, one our zero gravity pump solves with ease.
The pump enables smooth, low-stress transfers by directing water flow opposite the fish’s swimming direction, ensuring high welfare during transport.
It serves as a feeding system, transport solution, and a direct connection to well-boats for seamless, zero gravity transfer. Traditional systems require several meters of pumping head, our solution lifts both fish and water efficiently with minimal energy use.
This sustainable technology provides gentle, welfare-focused transitions from deep-ocean pens directly into well-boats, solving two problems with one solution.
The pump can also work as a fish transportation device between your well boat and land-based tank, or the well boat and the offshore habitat.
Application
Platform Cooling
For your platform and its macinery, cooling is of vital importance. Pumping rates can be as high as 40 megaliters per day (1700 cubic meter an hour). The fluid need to be moved 20-40 meters upwards, and requires enormous amounts of energy. Our technolgy will be able to minimize energy-consumption and save your operational cost with up to 90%.
For 1700 m3/hour your consuption will be around 250 kW or 2,2 million kWh a year. Our technolgy can potentiall reduce friction (pump head) to 20 millibar, and theoretically your energy consuption to 10 kW. This is nothing more than a revolution.
Application
Commercial Watersupply
Watersupplies are almost without exception a vertical circulation!
Water supplies are in high demand, while energy supplies for the sector are scarce. The challenge will increase in complexity and will not be solved unless we start to think differently.
The technology is enabling a extremely low energy usage for each consumer, by enableing a Zero Gravity water supply circulation.
For high-rise buildings with energy needs in the Mega-watt range, this technology will enable low energy consumption, and a stable water supply for your "Net Zero" usage.

Application
Geothermal Energy Storage
Geothermal energy is getting more and more interesting due to increased efforts to reduce energy-usage for buildings. Usually, geothermal aquifers are either located in deep wells or at some elevation where the main energy-loss is by lifting water. Usually this energy-loss is removed by closed loop piping, but may restrict the area or volume where you can store energy. If you want to store energy for a small city, the aquifer must be big, but the gains can be extreme.
Our Zero Gravity Pump will enable circulation between an open loop aquifer and open exchange tanks enabling much bigger storage systems compared to current closed loop heat exchangers. This can revolutionize how we store energy during summers and use the energy during winter.
Application
Desalination
Desalination can be done like nature does it. Evaporation, transportation and condensation.
Water supplies are in high demand, while energy supplies for the sector are scarce. Desalination is normally a very expensive process.
Our technology is enabling an extremely low energy usage for natural desalination. Desalination is peformed by the sun, and the Zero Gravity Pump exchanges the sea-water with fresh water.
This process requires the source and destination to be at equal elevation, but enables an extremely efficient process.
