is a self-contained, relocatable floating unit that purifies wastewater and generates electricity in one package, using ARBOK vacuum evaporation, biogas valorization of sludge, and solar-graphene nanofluid collectors.
Technology brief
is a self-contained, relocatable floating unit that purifies wastewater and generates electricity in one package, using ARBOK vacuum evaporation, biogas valorization of sludge, and solar-graphene nanofluid collectors.
The challenge
Primary use cases: island settlements; flooded disaster zones; military/peacekeeping; utility-less industrial and mining camps; green ports and marinas; refugee/IDP camps; humanitarian aid.
Industries and users: humanitarian and defense logistics, remote industry, port operators.
Scale: 25 m³/day per unit; cluster-scalable up to ~500 m³/day.
ARBOK solution
ARBOK Floating Plant is a self-contained, relocatable floating unit that purifies wastewater and generates electricity in one package, using ARBOK vacuum evaporation, biogas valorization of sludge, and solar-graphene nanofluid collectors. It needs no civil works, chemicals, membranes, or grid, and deploys on lakes, rivers, harbors, or flooded zones — bringing water, power, and remediation to remote, insular, or disaster-hit sites.
A modular catamaran base carries a thermodynamic vacuum-evaporation unit operating under deep vacuum: water evaporates at ambient temperature and condenses clean, with no filters, membranes, or reagents. An anaerobic biogas reactor digests organic sludge/residues; closed-loop solar-graphene collectors (up to 95 % efficiency) preheat feedwater. Outputs: treated water, electricity, biogas, and dry mineral cake.
Limitations: per-unit throughput (25 m³/day); the floating platform/barge integration is the remaining build step.
Market and application
Strong fit for islands, flood-prone and disaster regions, off-grid industry/mining, and humanitarian operations facing combined water and energy gaps. Drivers: climate resilience, off-grid demand, diesel/water-trucking costs.
CAPEX $320 000–450 000/unit (25 m³/day + 12 kWh/day); OPEX $0.18–0.35/m³; payback 2.5–3.5 years from avoided water trucking and diesel. Optional revenue: biogas $150–200/month, electricity savings $250–400/month, water resale up to $1 000/month in remote zones.
Use cases
Primary use cases: island settlements; flooded disaster zones; military/peacekeeping; utility-less industrial and mining camps; green ports and marinas; refugee/IDP camps; humanitarian aid.
Industries and users: humanitarian and defense logistics, remote industry, port operators.
Scale: 25 m³/day per unit; cluster-scalable up to ~500 m³/day.
Steps: site/water survey → float to location → anchor → commission (10–15 days). Autonomous operation; 1–2 maintenance staff; relocatable in 1–2 days.
Compatible with ARBOK Brine Recovery and SKYDOME atmospheric water generation; integrates solar PV and batteries; dockable cluster deployment up to ~500 m³/day; remote IoT control.

Energy: 0.65–1.3 kWh/m³ (vs 3–7 kWh/m³ conventional). Vacuum: deep vacuum operation.
Power: solar-graphene thermal + biogas + optional battery/grid. Crew: 1–2 for maintenance; otherwise autonomous. Setup: 10–15 days; relocatable in 1–2 days.
Catamaran float base; vacuum evaporation/condensation unit; anaerobic biogas reactor; solar-graphene nanofluid collectors; battery/grid backup; IoT diagnostics. Modular, transportable by truck/container; dockable for cluster scale-up.
Technical: no land, no civil works, no chemicals/membranes; water + power + biogas in one floating unit.
Economic: CAPEX $320 000–450 000/unit vs $1.5–2.5 million for a conventional 25 m³/day plant; OPEX $0.18–0.35/m³; water cost $0.18–0.35/m³ vs $1.2–2.5/m³.
Environmental: zero brine/discharge; carbon-neutral; converts waste to energy; replaces diesel and lagoons.
Strategic: rapid, relocatable water-energy infrastructure for emergencies and off-grid sites.

TRL 5 (confirmed by Michael). The treatment system (vacuum evaporation + biogas + solar-graphene) is ready and mature (~TRL 9), but the floating barge/catamaran platform has not yet been built and integrated. As a complete floating plant it is therefore TRL 5. Remaining: build and sea-trial the floating platform.

Floating-platform build and marine certification still pending; mineral/biogas residue handling; site anchoring and weather; verification of pilot claims.
