OWAC systems by Omega Engineer Curacao

About OWAC systems by Omega Engineer Curacao

Omega Engineering sprouted from EBI Integrator/Procool Inc., a mechanical engineering and contracting company, specialised in design, installation and maintenance of industrial and commercial air conditioning systems. After a sixteen years of management and engineering experience as director and engineer, the focus has moved from the execution of installations to design and project management. In September 2017 Omega Engineers'​ founder and CEO, Anthony (Tony) van Sprang, was elected ‘Energy Engineer of the Year 2017′ for the Latin America region by the Global Organisation Association of Energy Engineers. In a packed Georgia World Congress Center of Atlanta, Van Sprang’s nomination was turned into an award on September 26th. Van Sprang received the prize because of the spectacular breakthrough he effectuated with the OWAC system. OWAC stands for Ocean Water Assisted Cooling. Van Sprang is the first engineer in the world who managed to develop an industrial cooling system with the immediate use of seawater. This breakthrough is based upon two fundamental points: the use of surface water, which makes an expensive pumping system obsolete, and controlling the severely corrosive properties of seawater. The born and raised native of Curaçao developed a prototype, which for three uninterrupted years has been functioning in the building of the Ministry of Finance. Van Sprang learned that the system is not only functioning properly, but also that it is an excellent solution for cooling large buildings in (sub) tropical areas on a structural basis. More over the system also generates a reduction of 70 percent of energy costs (in Curacao). It should also be noted that OWAC is completely climate neutral. No chemicals are used in the OWAC system and the used seawater does not affect the temperature or quality of the seawater, hence OWAC is 100 percent sustainable.
