Abstract: A method for treating water including intaking a first amount of water into a plurality of treatment blocks, treating the first amount of water, outputting aqueous treated water streams from each of the plurality of treatment blocks, separating the aqueous treated water streams from each of the plurality of treatment blocks into aqueous permeate streams and concentrate reject streams, monitoring each of the aqueous permeate streams, controlling the operation of at least one of the plurality of treatment blocks based on predefined water-characteristic tolerances that fall within a predetermined concentration range based on the different qualities of the aqueous permeate streams, combining the aqueous permeate streams of at least two of the plurality of treatment blocks based on the identified characteristics and the predefined water-characteristic tolerances, and outputting the product water stream and the at least one concentrate reject stream.

Abstract: A method for treating seawater that includes the step of intaking water into at least one treatment block, wherein the treatment block includes a membrane pressure vessel having at least one membrane element, wherein the treatment block is configured such that the intake water is fed through the at least one membrane element of the membrane pressure vessel, is disclosed. The disclosed method further includes the steps of feeding the intake water through the membrane pressure vessel at a custom pressure based on the at least one membrane element of the membrane pressure vessel, and separating the intake water into at least an aqueous permeate stream and a concentrate reject stream; and outputting the aqueous permeate stream and the concentrate reject stream.

Abstract: A vessel configured to float on a body of seawater has a wastewater treatment system having a wastewater intake port for intaking wastewater onto the vessel, a wastewater treatment component for treating the wastewater to produce treated wastewater and sludge, and a treated wastewater conduit for transporting the treated wastewater away from the wastewater treatment component, a desalination system has a seawater intake for intaking seawater from the body of seawater onto the vessel, a desalination component for desalinating the seawater to produce concentrate and desalinated water, and a desalinated water discharge port for transferring the desalinated water from the vessel, a mixing system has a mixing tank for mixing the treated wastewater from the wastewater treatment system with the concentrate from the desalination system, and a wastewater discharge system for discharging the treated wastewater and concentrate mixture into the body of seawater.

Abstract: A desalination vessel has a water intake system having a water intake configured to be in communication with a body of water, and a water intake pump configured to draw water from the body of water, a water desalination system configured to produce desalinated water and concentrate from water drawn from the body of water, a mixing tank on the desalination vessel configured to mix the concentrate with water drawn from the body of water to produce diluted concentrate, and a concentrate discharge system configured to discharge the diluted concentrate into the body of water. The desalination vessel is configured to float on the body of water.

Abstract: Offshore facilities, systems, and methods for treating wastewater have been developed. An offshore wastewater treatment facility include wastewater treatment components (for preliminary treatment, primary treatment, secondary treatment, and/or advanced treatment); a means for moving wastewater from a land-based site to the facility; a means for removing treated wastewater from the facility; and a means for removing sludge from the facility. A method of treating wastewater includes: transporting wastewater from a site on land to a wastewater treatment facility located offshore in a body of water, and subjecting the wastewater to preliminary treatment, primary treatment, secondary treatment, and/or advanced treatment.
