Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Flocean is a desalination system built into a submersible capsule that sits hundreds of meters below the ocean surface, using the natural ambient water pressure at depth to help push seawater through reverse-osmosis membranes rather than relying on large surface pumps. Drawing intake water from below the sunlit zone also means less biofouling and fewer organic contaminants entering the system, simplifying the filtration needed before the water reaches drinking-water quality.
