OceanWell’s fresh water harvesting system will be openly evaluated in a tank to show its capability to produce safe, tidy drinking water.
MENLO PARK, Calif., March 25, 2025/ PRNewswire/– OceanWell, a water innovation business, and Las Virgenes Municipal Water District (LVMWD) released a first-of-its-kind pilot to display OceanWell’s fresh water harvesting system. The pilot is the next action in OceanWell’s and LVMWD’s collaboration, initially revealed in 2023, to show the effectiveness of OceanWell’s exclusive immersed water filtering innovation, and eventually, supply a steady, scalable and climate-resilient source of water for an area that has actually been hard-hit by water lacks in the last few years.
OceanWell is establishing deep-sea water farms that harness natural hydrostatic pressure at depths in excess of 400 meters (1,300 feet) to drive a high-pressure water filtration approach called reverse osmosis. Each filtration pod will gather as much as one million gallons of fresh water daily from the ocean, and the modular style enables scalable jobs based upon need. This innovation produces ultra-clean water by straining salts, germs, infections, pesticides, and PFAS, while its elements are crafted for toughness in severe deep-sea environments. Unlike conventional commercial desalination which is energy-intensive and can hurt marine life, OceanWell’s innovation decreases energy intake by as much as 40 percent while safeguarding marine life and getting rid of poisonous salt water.
Evaluating the innovation in a tank shows the performance of the system’s LifeSafe ™ consumption in extremely bio-active conditions, which are more difficult than in the deep sea. This phased technique assists tweak each phase of the system, leading the way for trusted, scalable release in the ocean.
The pilot launch was hung on March 21, 2025 at the Las Virgenes Tank in Westlake Town, California, where chosen authorities, water companies, ecological companies and more, had the ability to see an OceanWell pod immersed in the water, producing tidy, drinkable water in real-time.
The next stage of screening, which has actually currently gotten approval from the California Coastal Commission, is prepared to occur in the ocean– marking an important action from regulated tank conditions to real-world ocean release. This will even more verify OceanWell’s innovation in its designated deep-sea environment and bring it closer to industrial preparedness, indicating a significant development for the water market to bring brand-new products to areas around the world in a cost-efficient and ecologically safe way.
” Access to plentiful tidy water is important to the vigor of our neighborhoods,” stated Robert Bergstrom, CEO of OceanWell. “We’re enjoyed have a chance to partner with Las Virgenes to take the initial step in structure climate-resilient water products in the U.S. and abroad. This will allow us to make considerable development towards industrial preparedness and serving countless individuals.”
” Through our collaboration with OceanWell, we’re extremely delighted to challenge the standard thinking that ocean desalination and ecological stewardship can not go together. We’re uncompromising in our pursuit to establish a brand-new supply of drought-resilient water, while safeguarding the natural surroundings that we enjoy and value in California,” stated David Pedersen, General Supervisor of Las Virgenes Municipal Water District.
This turning point follows OceanWell’s entry in XPRIZE’s $ 119 million water shortage competitors, the biggest ever reward competitors created to drive extensive access to tidy water, and its $ 11 million Series A financing round, with involvement from Kubota Corporation OceanWell is supported by a working group of 25 community water companies in California and intends to construct 15 water farms around the world in the next years.

About OceanWell
OceanWell has actually revamped sourcing fresh water from the ocean into a tidy, stylish service that gathers economical, plentiful, fresh water. Its modular deep-sea water farm innovation utilizes hydrostatic ocean pressure at depths of 400m+ to naturally power the reverse osmosis procedure and make fresh water. OceanWell will do this with greatly enhanced energy performance, minimal salt water outfall that assists secure marine life and no onshore plant. This gets rid of the tradition innovation concerns of high energy usage, environmental effect, and a big commercial beach center. To read more, check out oceanwellwater.com
