Rosenberg Worley to design world’s first subsea desalination plant

Design of the world’s first subsea desalination plant has commenced at Rosenberg Worley in Stavanger, Norway.

Waterise’s desalination concept has the potential to meet increasing demand for clean freshwater around the world. It provides a deep-water solution using an energy-efficient reverse osmosis filtration process. Each plant subsea module is expected to produce approximately 50,000 m3 of fresh water per day, and has minimal impact on the local marine ecosystem and removes reliance on scarce coastal land areas.

“Providing clean fresh water to communities around the world shouldn’t be an issue. But it is, as the demands for this most basic need increases,” said Bradley Andrews, president of UNCE, Worley. “We’re committed to delivering a more sustainable world and we look forward to helping Waterise achieve its ambitions to bring subsea desalination technology to market at scale.”

Niels Petter Wright, CEO of Waterise AS, added: “The collaboration with Worley marks an important milestone for Waterise. We’re now taking our technology into the first full-scale plant. Worley will be an important strategic partner for Waterise based on its competence and capacity in both subsea operation systems as well as desalination.”
