Sustainable Innovative Water Treatment Solutions

The first development phase resulted in the industrialization of OSMOSUN®, the world's first range of industrial solutions for the desalination of seawater and brackish water powered by solar energy, with a daily production capacity ranging from 1 to 1000 m 3, and up to 20,000 m 3 with hybrid energy sources.

Since 2014, this major patented innovation has enabled remote communities, communities, public services and private organizations around the world to produce fresh water at an unprecedented low cost, without any greenhouse gas emissions. Faced with the challenge of managing essential infrastructure in remote areas, Mascara launched Kori Odyssey.

COWRIES, SHELLS THAT PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT FROM THE SEA

The name Kori Odyssey comes from the Cowries, tropical shells which, in addition to their central role in the ecosystem of the oceans, have promoted dialogue and human development for centuries as a currency of exchange and commerce between civilizations. This name symbolizes two pillars of the Kori Odyssey initiative: cooperation and sustainable development.

Kori Odyssey identifies and qualifies water-related issues as closely as possible to beneficiaries with a view to setting up sustainable programs for the human development of coastal and isolated communities. These solutions are based both on the mastery of water treatment technologies using renewable energies and on a social engineering approach and an inclusive economic model. The projects carried out ultimately impact 12 of the 17 sustainable development goals set by the United Nations and in particular goal 6: guarantee access to water and sanitation for all and ensure sustainable management of water resources.
