The OMI system functions by using a large buoyant vessel which rides on the wave surface. When a trough passes beneath the vessel and the vessel is no longer supported, it allows a heavy ballast mass to descend and pressurize the water in a simple sleeve type pump. The pressurized water is driven up through a cavity in the main shaft into the manifold which combines multiple pump assemblies. The combined pump outputs efficiently drive the hydro-turbine generator, osmosis filters and electrolysis unit.
The pump assemblies are housed in a modified version of a modular offshore drilling unit. The barge type vessel contains from 20 to 35 pumps with diameters ranging from 12 to 36 inches dependent on the average wave conditions. The unit which we call a farm has two hulls, the bottom one is flooded and descends to the ocean floor becoming the footing / sand-bed pre-filter and the upper hull has a jacking frame-work that allows the platform to be height adjusted.
In wave fields that average from 2 to 15 feet on a farm of 35 pumps, the system would produce 29,494,080 gallons or about 19 acre feet of fresh water per day.
