The Aquatherm Disruptor™: Cooling Oceans, Saving Reefs, Protecting Our Planet

By Frederick Christopher – Development Advisor, Ocean Integrity

The Problem We Face

Climate change is accelerating. Our oceans are warming at record speeds, fueling stronger hurricanes, triggering toxic algae blooms, and devastating coral reefs.
• Hurricanes are intensifying, causing $300+ billion in damage annually.
• Coral reefs—home to 25% of all marine species—are dying from heat stress.
• Freshwater lakes and coastal zones are suffocating from toxic algae blooms.

Nature is signaling collapse. The world urgently needs scalable solutions.

The Innovation: Aquatherm Disruptor™

Ocean Integrity’s Aquatherm Disruptor™ is a revolutionary, patent-pending technology designed to directly address these crises. After 19 years of research and development by Captain Kieran Kelly, this system harnesses simple physics and fluid dynamics to do what once seemed impossible: cool the ocean at scale.
• Capacity: Pushes up to 2.5 million tonnes of 4°C water per minute to the surface.
• Impact: Can cool targeted sea-surface zones by 5–7.5°C in just 7 days.
• Method: Uses the ocean’s own forward momentum , not electricity or traditional pumps.
• Result: Weakens storms, revives coral reefs, and halts harmful algae blooms.

This breakthrough represents a 50,000× improvement over old pump-based systems, which could only move 50 tonnes per minute.

Core Applications

🌪 Hurricane Mitigation
• Reduces storm intensity by cutting off the warm surface water “fuel” that drives hurricanes.
• Can downgrade a Category 5 hurricane into a tropical storm before landfall.
• Potential savings: $50B+ annually in avoided storm damage.

🐠 Coral Reef Restoration
• Upwells cold, nutrient-rich water from 100–200m depths.
• Reverses coral bleaching, restoring reef health “like recovering from the flu.”
• Supports global biodiversity and protects the tourism economy.

🌊 Freshwater & Coastal Protection
• Stops toxic algae blooms in lakes, estuaries, and coastal waters.
• A scalable, sustainable alternative to costly chemical treatments.
• Example: The Great Lakes region spends $1B+ per year battling algae—costs that Aquatherm could slash.

Why Now

We are living in a decade of climate tipping points. Coral extinction is real. Extreme weather is worsening. Global insurers, governments, and conservation groups are all searching for proactive, scalable solutions, not just reaction after disaster strikes.

The Aquatherm Disruptor™ is tested, scalable, and deployable. The time to act is now.

The Global Impact
• Environmental: Protect reefs, marine life, and coastlines.
• Economic: Save billions annually in storm and disaster recovery.
• Security: Safeguard infrastructure and coastal populations.
• Sustainability: Low footprint, long-term resilience, and carbon offset opportunities.

Partnerships for Change

Ocean Integrity is seeking strategic alliances to deploy this technology worldwide. We are engaging:
• Governments seeking climate adaptation strategies.
• Environmental NGOs protecting oceans and reefs.
• Insurance and reinsurance firms facing ballooning climate losses.
• Climate tech investors ready to support game-changing innovation.

A New Chapter for Ocean Integrity

The Aquatherm Disruptor™ represents the next phase of Ocean Integrity’s mission. We began as one of the world’s largest ocean plastic recovery initiatives, and now we are expanding into climate defense and marine restoration at planetary scale.

It is no longer just about collecting plastic, it’s about changing the forecast for future generations.

Join Us

The oceans sustain all life. With the Aquatherm Disruptor™, we can protect coastlines, restore coral reefs, and mitigate climate disasters—together.

Let’s cool the oceans, disrupt the storms, and revive marine life.
