WATER STANDARD is a global water treatment company integrating desalination technology and ocean-based vessels, and is committed to being a leader in innovative ways to help solve the global water shortages. This growing crisis affects virtually every continent and is projected to leave billions of people without access to improved water supplies in the coming years.

The SDV™ adapts proven reverse osmosis (RO) technology, which has been used on military and cruise ships for years and combines it with proprietary technologies to offer a reliable and environmentally responsible alternative.

Although desalination was once perceived as too expensive an option for producing water, membrane costs and energy usage have dropped dramatically. WATER STANDARD takes advantage of these reduced costs and energy efficiencies to provide competitive pricing.

In partnership with nature, WATER STANDARD provides an environmentally sound, mobile, reliable and secure option for producing critically needed freshwater in areas facing near and long-term crisis. Our goal is crystal clear: To change the world of tomorrow by helping protect it today.

Our Seawater Desalination Vessel™ is right for the environment, right for the ocean and right for the world. WATER STANDARD and the SDV™ deliver a broad range of benefits that offer innovations and advantages when compared to land-based desalination systems:

• Intellectual Property Portfolio: Proven processes combined with proprietary patented technologies.
• Environmentally Responsible Option: Safer for marine life and the ocean ecology, with minimal shoreline impact.
• Efficiently self-generating power on-board, utilizing all waste heat and employing system to reduce emissions.
  
• Mobile and Reliable: Able to respond to weather related catastrophes, geopolitical and socio-economic instability.
• Greater speed to production - about 16 months and in some cases - 12 to 14 months.
• Scalable and Cost Competitive: The SDV™ is scaled to provide a capacity of 20,000 to 200,000 cubic meters per day (m³/d) or 5 to 50 million gallons of water per day (mgd).
• Customized, flexible contracting: short-term, long-term or on-demand basis.
  
• Avoids construction disruption: minimal disruption to environmental habitats and existing residential or business communities.
  

In the not so distant future, we will also be moving into wastewater treatment and reuse markets, as well as providing complementary products to our environmentally focused desalinated water.
