Flocean

Flocean AS is the manufacturer of Flocean Desal. In 2013, the company was spun off from FSubsea, a fifth-generation Norwegian family business. With headquarters in Oslo, the company focuses on designing and delivering climate-friendly, cost-efficient and robust underwater pumping systems, including Flocean.

The world needs more freshwater

The market for innovative solutions for underwater desalination is vast and critically increasing. Current seawater desalination plants are energy-intensive, emitting over 400 million tons of CO₂ into the atmosphere annually. The world is heading toward a freshwater deficit of up to 40 percent by 2030. Flocean has developed a forward-looking technology and a patented solution for subsea desalination, ensuring stable and environmentally friendly freshwater production.

A technological solution with a smaller carbon footprint

By installing the desalination plant subsea at ocean depths of 400–600 meters, the technology reduces energy consumption by up to 50 percent, without releasing brine. The solution requires 95 percent less land area than land-based plants, is resilient against seasonal storms and algae blooms and offers enhanced security underwater – a critical factor for ensuring stable national water supplies.
