ECO-BOT Desalo — AI-Driven Autonomous Floating Desalination Robot

ECOPEACE
  • 2027 Honoree in Energy Transition & Sustainability
ECO-BOT Desalo is an autonomous, solar-powered mobile desalination platform designed to address global water scarcity through decentralized production. Validated through extensive offshore field testing, the robot integrates AI-driven navigation with a multi-stage treatment system on a compact 3.0m x 5.0m floating platform. It autonomously identifies "Golden Points"—intake locations with optimal salinity and low turbidity—using a 3D water quality sensor array. The system combines proprietary mechanical pre-filtration (ECO-FILTER) with high-efficiency SWRO (Seawater Reverse Osmosis) and CDI (Capacitive Deionization) to produce over 1,000 liters of potable water daily. Unlike stationary plants, this mobile solution eliminates expensive land-based infrastructure and prevents ecological damage through a Zero-Liquid Discharge (ZLD) brine management strategy. Designed for remote islands and disaster zones, it operates independently via a hybrid solar-battery architecture, providing a scalable, carbon-neutral "Water-as-a-Service" model.
