ReGen’s Solar Desalination Unit Successfully Deployed at HKU’s SWIMS Lab, Paving the Way for Sustainable Coastal Water Solutions

[HONG KONG, 3rd Oct] – ReGen Technology is proud to announce the successful installation and operation of our innovative solar-powered desalination device at The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS), Faculty of Science, The University of Hong Kong (HKU). This landmark collaboration marks a significant step forward in validating sustainable, off-grid solutions for water scarcity in coastal regions.

A Real-World Testing Ground
Nestled in Cape d’Aguilar Marine Reserve (Hok Tsui), SWIMS provides the ideal setting to test ReGen’s technology under real-world conditions. The device, which uses solar thermal energy to convert seawater into fresh irrigarion water, has been operating efficiently, demonstrating its ability to support both research and practical applications—from irrigation to ecosystem restoration.

Key Highlights of the Deployment

  • Off-Grid & Low-Cost: The device operates independently, without grid electricity or fuel, making it a game-changer for remote coastal areas.

  • Eco-Friendly Design: By leveraging solar power and incorporating brine byproduct management, the system supports a circular economy with minimal environmental impact.

  • Scalable and Adaptable: Designed for modular deployment, the unit can be easily scaled to serve diverse needs—from supporting academic research to enabling agriculture in water-stressed communities.

Proven Impact in Sustainability
Preliminary results from the SWIMS deployment have shown promising outcomes:

  • Consistent production of clean, irrigation-ready water.

  • Resilience to varying weather conditions, thanks to its intelligent control system.

  • Positive feedback from researchers and stakeholders for its ease of use and reliability.

Looking Ahead
This achievement reinforces ReGen’s commitment to driving sustainable development through cutting-edge technology. As we continue to refine our systems and expand their applications, we invite potential partners, investors, and communities to join us in creating a irrigation water-secure future.
