Pure Marine has developed and patented a new design for a wave energy converter, called DUO, which produces wave power from both the up and down, and the side to side, wave motions at the same time -- and this delivers a step change improvement in the economics of wave energy production.The company is initially targeting markets for the supply of their wave energy technology to customers requiring a low cost, low carbon alternative to off-grid energy generation. Applications include power for marine observation systems, wave powered desalination systems and recharging autonomous underwater vehicles to extend their mission range. In the longer-term the DUO technology can be scaled up for deployment in large wave farms arrays for grid connected energy generation projects.

Pure Marine开发了一种称为DUO的波浪能转换器的新设计并获得专利，该转换器可以同时从上下和左右两个方向产生波浪能，这在波浪能生产的经济性方面带来了一个飞跃性的改进。该公司最初的目标市场是向需要低成本的客户提供波浪能技术，低碳替代离网能源发电。其应用包括为海洋观测系统、波浪能海水淡化系统和为自主水下航行器充电以扩展其使命范围提供动力。从长远来看，DUO技术可以扩大规模，部署在大型波浪发电场阵列中，用于并网发电项目。
