Developed jointly by the Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias (ITC) and Ingeniería Calero Luna (ICL), ODEMAR allows the analysis of multiple design options for a renewable-energy-powered desalinated water production facility.
ODEMAR is a design and optimization tool that determines the optimal configuration -technically and economically– of a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant, powered fully or partially by renewable energy, in order to meet a specific water demand.
ODEMAR customizes a tailor-made design using wind and/or solar photovoltaic energy, considering all variables involved in each specific case in order to optimize a real scenarios.
ODEMAR enables optimization of existing desalination plants, modifying the electrical, hydraulic, product water storage, and plant control system variables as necessary in order to maximize water production at minimum cost.
To bring this product closer to potential stakeholders interested in exploring its applications and promoting practical use, several presentation sessions have been held to date with different potential clients. Additional sessions are planned in the coming months.
During these sessions, the tool’s operation, main functionalities, and potential areas of application were presented, while also providing a forum space for exchanging opinions and addressing participants’ questions.
Additionally, to facilitate its dissemination, an explanatory brochure has been prepared, and two technical articles have been published in the journals Tecnoaqua (No. 77, January–February 2026, pp. 52-56) and Industria Ambiente (February 2026, pp. 78-83).
