DeepSeaTek: Bringing the world closer to water security with advanced deep-sea water processing technology
EXPERTS IN SHIPBORNE SEAWATER PROCESSING
DeepSeaTek, a Blue Tech company, is pioneering solutions to global water scarcity with its advanced deep-sea water processing systems. Using extraction and filtration technologies deployed aboard oceangoing factory vessels, DeepSeaTek harnesses resources from the deep ocean to produce fresh and healthy drinking water, multi-use fresh water supplies, fertilisers, and other valuable outputs. At DeepSeaTek’s core is a multidisciplinary team of water, manufacturing, and maritime engineers who specialise in deploying oceangoing vessels with onboard seawater processing facilities — delivering custom formulations of desalinated water and fertilisers directly to coastal points of use. Compared to the earlier generation of land-based desalination plants, which are often energy-intensive and taxing on the environment, DeepSeaTek’s factory vessels offer a more efficient and sustainable alternative. The vessels operate at sea, drawing water from depths of 300-500m, then subjecting it to a clean desalination process followed by re-mineralisation and preparation for delivery — such

The desalination process is brine-free, protecting marine ecosystems by avoiding harmful brine discharge. It is also chemical-free, eliminating long-term health risks associated with earlier-generation desalinated water of the kind that is prevalent today. Furthermore, the desalinated water is enriched with essential minerals, providing health benefits and addressing mineral deficiencies for consumers. The entire process is also powered by self-generated electricity, reducing carbon footprint. This method not only delivers clean and safe water for drinking and other uses, but the retention of beneficial minerals also makes it a better alternative to conventional methods. The mobility of DeepSeaTek’s oceangoing factory vessels allows for rapid deployment and flexible product
delivery — reducing environmental impacts and providing a scalable solution to global water scarcity. MINERAL WATER FOR DRINKING DeepSeaTek’s mineral water, revitalised with essential marine minerals, offers a healthier alternative to conventional drinking water and to typical formulations of desalinated water. It addresses mineral deficiencies present in many human diets today, and provides a sustainable solution to water scarcity. Such health benefits include an enhanced mineral content. DeepSeaTek’s mineral water is enriched with two different mineral formulas options, providing a range of nutrients vital for human health, at either premium or standard price points. The premium formula includes 78 essential marine
