Reverse Osmosis System for Fresh Water Production

The solution forms part of an innovative approach to sustainable water production, where seawater is processed subsea using reverse osmosis technology before the produced fresh water is transported to shore or directly to end users. By utilizing the natural hydrostatic pressure available at depth, the system can reduce energy consumption compared to conventional desalination plants while minimizing the footprint of onshore infrastructure.

For Kverneland Aqua, the project required the delivery of equipment intended for long-term operation in a harsh marine environment, where reliability, material selection, documentation, and manufacturing quality are critical to overall system performance.

Kverneland Aqua was responsible for the manufacturing, assembly, and delivery of equipment supporting the subsea reverse osmosis system. The project combined fabrication, machining, assembly, quality assurance, and project coordination to ensure that the delivered equipment met both technical and operational requirements.

As with most subsea applications, particular attention was given to corrosion resistance, structural integrity, maintainability, and compliance with project-specific documentation requirements.
