Why Flumill

Designed to operate in harmony with nature, causing little to no harm to aquatic life and ecosystems

Highly competitive levelized cost of energy (LCOE) with solutions for multiple markets

Simple and robust design with few moving, electrical or hydraulic components enables easy operation, low maintenance, and high reliability

Low turbulence and smart mooring solutions enable dense energy installations, maximizing power output per area

Passive hydrodynamic angle control ensures automatic adjustment to flow conditions without active control systems

Multiple possible configurations for river flows, tidal streams, and ocean currents — adaptable to a wide range of environments

Easily scalable solution to meet different energy demands and project sizes

Highly durable system designed to work with the forces of nature while maintaining mechanical integrity in demanding conditions.

Efficient use of advanced materials and optimized design provides an excellent energy-to-material ratio and minimal environmental impact.

ECOLOGICAL FACTORES

Developed with a strong focus on environmental compatibility and minimal impact on aquatic ecosystems.

Aquatic Life Safety: No sharp leading edges and slow wing-tip velocity minimize risk to aquatic organisms.
Low Cavitation Design: Quiet operation limits acoustic pollution and disturbance to wildlife.
Compact Swept Area: Optimized geometry with a rapid flow recovery allows close turbine spacing, smaller development footprint and reduce interaction with natural habitats.
Low Collision Risk: Continuous, streamlined and slow-moving design that is easily recognized by sonar reduces collision risk with aquatic life and traffic.
Efficient Material Use: High use of lightweight composite materials and a favourable mass-to-energy ratio contribute to a low lifecycle carbon footprint.
Minimal Anchoring Impact: Low anchor loads and small mooring systems reduce seabed or riverbed disturbance.
Compact Installation: Small-scale foundations and efficient layouts minimize spatial requirements
