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.

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.
