BLUECUBE MODULAR REVERSE OSMOSIS WATERMAKERS

Shipyard-ready RO skids for new builds—class/flag-confirming submittals and early integration data.
Bluecube delivers single-skid SWRO packages with the drawings and confirmations builders and owners expect: GA, utilities (electrical/cooling), weights & CoG, foundations/lift points, control I/O, noise/vibration notes, preservation, and shipping dimensions—so routing, mounting, and inspection stay predictable.

Your Vessel Program Can’t Afford Yard-Day Surprises

New builds slip when equipment doesn’t fit the model—or documents don’t answer class/flag questions.

Bluecube arrives as a single-lift skid with the confirmations shipyards need to keep blocks moving and approvals calm. You get submittals tuned for marine class/flag confirmation (not EPC churn) and the integration data to plan installation early.

  • Installation-ready skids: FAT-tested, documented, and ready to set.

  • Class/flag in view: ABS/DNV/BV confirmations embedded in the pack.

  • Early data, fewer open items: GA, utilities, CoG/weights, foundations, I/O.

Trusted on Commercial Marine New Builds.

Shipyards value packages that fit the model and pass first review. Bluecube skids are delivered with complete class/flag confirmations and the integration details builders ask for—so steel, piping, and electrical can proceed without rework.

Our track record is simple: Single-lift installs. Calm reviews. On-schedule handovers.

Meet BlueCube RO — The Commercial Marine Skidded Watermaker

Single Skid. Class/Flag-aware. Built for Shipyard Integration

Bluecube solves new-build realities: space claim, routing, documentation, and inspection. The skid’s defined footprint and tie-ins, plus class/flag confirmations and early data, help naval architects and yard teams plan confidently.

BLUECUBE WATERMAKER

Engineered for Shipyard Reality

  • Single-Skid, Lift-Ready Layout
    Defined footprint, lift points/CoG, utilities, and tie-ins for clean model fit and yard day.

  • Class/Flag Confirmation Pack
    ABS/DNV/BV confirmations included so owners and builders move forward without guesswork.

  • FAT-Tested, Installation-Ready
    System FAT prior to shipment; documentation arrives complete with shipping dims/preservation.

  • RapidFlow™ Parallel Execution (optional)
    Module-level fabrication/testing integrates onto a single skid—reducing lead time and risk.

The Cost of Doing Nothing Adds Up Fast

When documentation and fit aren’t handled early, blocks stall and reviews loop:

  • Open items at class/flag

  • Model conflicts and reroutes

  • Extra yard days and change orders

Choose a skid designed to fit first time and sail through review.

Options & Upgrades

INLET OPTIONS

BlueCube inlet configurations ensure stable RO feed conditions even when platform seawater pressure is inconsistent. A boost pump is available in either 1x100% or 2x100% duty to support low-pressure sources such as seachests. A pressure control valve can also be added to regulate variable feed pressures and maintain a consistent inlet supply to the RO system.

CHLORINE REMOVAL OPTIONS

For locations with chlorinated seawater supply BlueCube systems remove chlorine using one of two methods. A carbon contactor provides physical adsorption, or chemical injection (SBS) neutralizes free chlorine through chemical reduction.

PREFILTRATION UPGRADES

For locations with higher suspended solids or seasonal turbidity, BlueCube offers enhanced pretreatment. A basic media filter improves upstream solids removal, an automated media filter adds automatic backwash functionality, and a bag filter provides a compact, serviceable option for moderate TSS levels.

CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTATION

BlueCube systems can be tailored to the platform’s automation needs. Basic controls provide essential instrumentation and protection logic, while advanced controls add an HMI, transmitters, and DCS integration. Both options are available in safe area or HazLoc configurations.
PRESSURE SAFETY OPTIONS
Pressure protection can be supplied to different standards. The basic pressure safety package includes relief valves and vacuum breakers across key lines, while the API pressure safety package provides upgraded components for facilities requiring API-level compliance.

POTABLE WATER OPTIONS
To meet potable water requirements, BlueCube offers multiple post-treatment configurations. The basic potable water package includes pH neutralization, corrosion control and disinfection, while the advanced potable water package adds enhanced monitoring and record keeping.

MEMBRANE CLEANING
BlueCube supports long-term RO performance with two cleaning configurations. A manual CIP system enables operator-performed membrane cleaning, while a fully automated CIP system cleans without manual intervention.

COMPLIANCE

  • Class/Flag: ABS/DNV/BV confirmation included for builder/owner acceptance

  • Documentation: Submittals tailored to shipyard review; early data reduces open items

  • Evidence: Certificates and statements provided per vessel program requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this an EPC approval cycle?
No—commercial marine new builds typically rely on informational documentation with class/flag confirmations rather than EPC-style approvals.

 

How do you protect the yard schedule?
Skids are FAT-tested with confirmations included; early integration data minimizes RFIs and rework.

 

Will it fit our space claim and routing?
Yes—defined footprint, utilities, and tie-ins are provided early; we return GA and I/O to fit your model.

 

How long does installation take offshore?
Most modular replacements are installed and producing water within a single shift once tie-in utilities are prepped. The hatchable design avoids multi-day crane operations and minimizes downtime. 
Can rotating crews operate it without special training?
Yes. Controls are simplified for rotating crews. Each install includes onboard familiarization plus 24/7 access to digital training resources and videos through our 360Support portal. 
What’s the expected service life?
Bluecube modules are engineered for 20+ years of offshore duty when maintained per the O&M manual. Corrosion-resistant materials and coatings are specified to meet harsh marine conditions.
