Floating Offshore Desalination

A Strategy to Address Water Scarcity & Environment

Too much rain will fill up any existing dams quickly, forcing managements to open the flood gates which can cause wide spread flooding and despair. However, if a desalination option would have been available then a larger buffer capacity of the dams could have been kept available in case of flooding to minimize the risk of the need to open the flood gates.

If flooding is causing dam waters to get contaminated or in situations of too little rain, it will be an immediate option to start up any desalination production if such plants are already available due to previous investments.

The supply of fresh water is going to be a very big problem for many years to come, which also makes it necessary for many industries to ensure their future supplies: mining, farming, hydrogen etc.

TURBO WATER located in Melbourne is offering floating desalination plants based on a generic unit solution of 75,000cbm/day including or excluding an integrated powerplant and fuel at US$0.86/cbm or US$0.47/cbm respectively.

TURBO WATER is the sales agent for FOD(Floating Offshore Desalination), the Norwegian company which have created the core concept and represents FOD exclusively in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Philippines and Hong Kong.
