Introducing OceanWell
OceanWell’s technology harvests the natural hydrostatic pressure found at depths of 400 meters below sea level to drive the reverse osmosis process. This method reduces energy requirements by up to 40% compared to a state of the art land-based desalination system. The system does not use any chemicals and does not produce a strong brine outfall, minimizing ecological disruption and preventing any harm to marine life through its LifeSafeTM circulation system.
Gallons per day per pod
Each Pod has a daily production capacity of 1 million gallons (4,000m3) of high quality fresh water.
Water farms have unlimited capacity
The modularity of the Pods enables us to scale each project in line with demand.
Assumes 1m3 per household per day
Our First Water Farm is projected to supply:
Equivalent to 58 million gallons per day or 65,000 acre-feet per year
A large water farm can supply a whole city.
Unlimited free pressure means our outfall salinity is low and environmentally benign. We disperse it through risers into deep water currents, ensuring it diffuses to ambient salinity rapidly.
Ultra Clean Water
Our water is not only free from salt. We filter out bacteria, viruses, pesticides, and PFAS, ensuring that we produce only healthy, high-quality fresh water. This rigorous purification process guarantees that every drop is safe, clean, and pure for consumption.
Proven technology
Offshore operations have been refined over many years, primarily by the subsea energy industry. Our technology leverages these advancements, utilising components specifically designed to withstand the deep-sea environment for decades. This robustness ensures reliable and long-lasting performance in the most challenging conditions.
Designed to Live Under Pressure
The major components of our system were originally designed to go much deeper and move tougher substances than water under constant pressure.
RO Membrane Compatibility
Our pods have been designed to integrate water industry standard reverse osmosis membranes. This allows us to track and adopt the latest in membrane technology.
Reliable Subsea Pipelines
Laying the subsea pipeline infrastructure to convey our water back to shore is a well practiced process. Our customers can choose the optimal site to receive the water.
Large-Scale Cooling
Our fresh water is extremely cold. We can pass the water through cooling stations to harness the temperature differential, offering major energy savings.
This design reduces downtime and enhances the overall reliability and longevity of our system, providing seamless and efficient operations.
