A Brief History
The Waterfountain desalination system was invented and developed by Tor Stolpestad, Rolf Bendiksen and Kurt Andresen. Tor, who is now a member of the board of directors was responsible for service contracts, addressing all warranty claims, operating contracts and sales of offshore rig equipment and services. Kurt has retired after a successful career in the offshore industry in which he helped develop and operate cutting several edge technologies. During his offshore career, Rolf designed and patented gas/fluid driven hydraulic compensators, riser systems and a tension assembly. Rolf continues to innovate as the technology lead.
