Building affordable, abundant fresh water production

We develop modular, efficient deep-sea water farms to combat water scarcity while protecting marine ecosystems

Technology

Modular subsea reverse osmosis systems use natural ocean pressure to efficiently produce fresh water

40% Energy Reduction

By harnessing natural pressure to drive the process, our water production is efficient, using significantly less energy than traditional methods of   desalination onshore.

No Coastal Plant

Underwater Water Farms are effectively invisible, eliminating the need for a coastal plant, preserving natural landscapes, while ensuring local ecosystems remain undisturbed.

No Harm to Marine Life

Our LifeSafeTM circulation system protects marine ecosystems while the system does not produce a strong brine, promoting biodiversity and ecological balance.

Modular Deployment

Scalable to any size, our modular Water Farms can be quickly installed and  expanded. This flexibility ensures that the project can adapt to increasing water demands efficiently.

Flexible Energy Use

Water Farms can  modulate their production rate, supporting the grid's transition to cleaner energy solutions and enabling direct integration with renewable power sources.

Climate Resilience

Operating at depth, we are protected from adverse weather events, floods, algae blooms, and other organic matter, ensuring reliable, year-round supplies of high quality fresh water.

Innovative Water Solutions for a Sustainable Future
Impacts

Nature

We protect marine ecosystems, avoiding harm to aquatic life, promoting biodiversity.

Community

Providing clean, accessible water transforms communities, improves health, and supports local economies.

Partners and Accolades
Project Development

Las Virgenes

OceanWell have collaborated with Las Virgenes Municipal Water District in Southern California to build the first Water Farm.

Together we aim to provide a high quality and cost-effective water supply to the California market.

Collaboration

California Working Group

25 public water agencies have participated in the development of the technology. 8 of which have signed an LOI and reimbursement agreement for a feasibility study into an inland pipeline distribution system to deliver water directly to their service areas.

About Us

About Us

OceanWell

We believe in working with nature, not against it. Every design decision was made with an “environment-first” philosophy, driven by our engineering team in California. In doing so we redesigned desalination from the ground up, the result of which is a simple, elegantly designed solution that addresses every issue presented by desalination, to serve as a net positive to earth’s water cycle.

Climate and Water

Creating more fresh water to combat climate change impacts and build a resilient environment.

Fundamental to Life

Clean water transforms communities, supports health, and fosters economic growth.

Value and Harmony

Reliable fresh water promotes social harmony, supports agriculture, and enhances life.
