Oneka Technologies is a Canadian company that provides wave-powered desalination buoys that pump water offshore through filters and reverse osmosis membranes to produce drinking water. Each installed buoy is said to save approximately 100,000 kg of CO2 per year. Oneka's brine has a salinity slightly higher (±30%) than that of the ocean. In addition, the buoy structure is mostly made of recycled PET from plastic bottles, with an array of seven Iceberg-class units representing nearly 1.2 million recycled plastic bottles. The company also has operations in the US and Chile.

Oneka's Iceberg-class units, designed for commercial projects, produce 30–50 m3 (8,000–13,000 US gallons) daily, serving 100–1,500 people based on consumption. They endure 6 m (20 ft) waves autonomously. The P-class units are for demos and pilots, making 10 m3 (2,600 US gal) daily, catering to 20-300 people. Icecube-class units, downsized for emergencies, yield 1 m3 (265 US gal) daily. A larger Glacier-class buoy, in development, aims for 500 m3/day production.

The company also provides its service as a water-as-a-service solution, where it installs and operates its systems at its own cost, and clients pay for the supplied water volume (per cubic meter, gallon).

Key customers and partnerships

In June 2020, Oneka partnered with REDE for the expansion in Chile. In March 2023, Oneka led Canada's CAD 14.1 million (~USD 10.3 million) Ocean Supercluster Glacier Project along with AF Theriault, H2O Innovation, and the City of Barrington to scale wave-powered desalination, creating an affordable "Glacier" system for sustainable freshwater from the ocean. In July 2023, Oneka partnered with the City of Fort Bragg for California's first wave-powered desalination project, receiving USD 1.5 million from the state.
