OWC Technology Revolution

The simplicity of Oscillating Water Column technology (i.e. no moving parts) has long made it a favoured solution for wave energy conversion applications. However, the OWC's major weakness has been its low efficiency.  Orecon has made a technological breakthrough with the MRC (Multi Resonant Chambers) and have delivered the high efficiency implementation of OWC the industry has been waiting for.

Designed from the start for;

• Economic Cost of Power
• Storm Survival
• Reliability & Ease of Maintenance
• Scaleable, Large Capacity
• Ease of Deployment
• Minimal Environmental Impact
