OceanWell’s ongoing pilot programs have been designed to validate all aspects of the technology in real world environments, both onshore and offshore, before the first full-scale demonstration of our commercial system. The current testing in a reservoir in Southern California is monitoring environmental performance in biologically active shallow water conditions.
This program enables us to fine tune and test certain aspects of the system over an extended period. With the data from this test, OceanWell is preparing for its ocean-based trials, ahead of full commercial deployment.
Our pods use the natural pressure found at depth to filter out contaminants without chemical pre-treatment or mechanical compression. A multi-layered intake system filters plankton and other organic matter with minimal impact, while the outfall is released in a diluted form, instantly dispersed by strong currents above the system.
Las Virgenes MWD is a public water agency serving over 75,000 people in western Los Angeles County, including Calabasas, Agoura Hills, and Westlake Village. With nearly total dependence on imported water, the district is pioneering innovative solutions for long-term resilience.
