Listen Later

Jonathan Haswell, Chief Business Officer at OceanWell, delivers a fascinating discussion on OceanWell’s first of a kind approach to desalination. Jonathan discusses the advantages of the “water farms” OceanWell seeks to deploy, including the significant environmental and energy benefits in this can’t miss interview. Plus, Reese Tisdale returns before our summer hiatus for a Bluefield on Tap segment, covering the recent announcement of DuPont splitting into three companies.

  • Jonathan’s unique background and how the water sector found him just 2 years ago
  • OceanWell’s new approach to desalination
  • An overview of the technology
  • How OceanWell provides environmental benefits and reduced energy consumption compared with conventional desalination
  • The depth at which the necessary hydrostatic pressure is found
  • The distance from shore the necessary depth is typically found
  • The onshore infrastructure needed
  • The outreach process to engage with stakeholders
  • The “first of a kind” risk and how OceanWell addresses the risks
  • How OceanWell leveraged non-water technologies to develop its product 
  • Why OceanWell believes “water dissolves conflict and creates value wherever it goes”
