Abstract: A system for producing desalinated water from seawater or other saline water, wherein the system comprises the following equipment features or equipment items, in a typical direction of flow: a subsea seawater inlet, a subsea pretreatment stage, at least comprising one or more of a subsea filter and/or a subsea seawater pre-treatment unit and/or a subsea coarse screen unit, and/or a hydrocyclone, a subsea feed pump, fluidly coupled to, a subsea RO unit, a subsea product pump fluidly coupled to a RO unit product outlet, a product line fluidly coupled to the subsea product pump, and a RO unit reject outlet, preferably coupled to a reject line. The system is distinctive in that: the subsea seawater inlet is at a depth below or within the thermocline layer of the seawater, that is below the epipelagic zone, or as close as feasible if the local depth is insufficient to reach the thermocline layer, and wherein the system preferably is without any barrier fluid supply to the subsea pumps.

Abstract: There is described the processing seawater in a subsea facility on the seabed in various methods and apparatus. In various examples, the facility is coupled to at least one well, is configured to provide the well with water to be injected into at least one formation of the well, and comprises filter elements arranged in housings, the filter elements being configured for ultrafiltration or microfiltration. In such examples, treated seawater in at least one of the housings is filtered using at least one filter element, producing thereby filtered water, and at least one filter element in at least one other of the filter housings is cleaned by backwashing performed using at least some of the produced filtered water.

Abstract: A system for disinfecting and removing biological material from water to be injected into an injection well in a water body is described; the system includes: at least one apparatus for the gravitational precipitation of particles from water, which is connected, in terms of fluid, to a source of untreated water and to the injection well; and an apparatus for the addition of an oxidant for the disinfection of water, which is connected in terms of fluid to the apparatus for the gravitational precipitation of particles, a source of untreated water and to the injection well such that the apparatus for the gravitational precipitation of particles is positioned downstream relative to the apparatus for the addition of an oxidant for disinfection. The disclosure also relates to a method for disinfecting and removal of biological material from injection water.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for use in water processing include housing sections that house in their interiors water treating membranes, the respective interiors being separate from one another. A distributor chamber for containing a flow of water to be treated conveys water to be treated from a feed inlet and distributes the water to be treated into the interiors of the housing sections. A collector chamber for collecting treated water from the interiors of the housing sections is provided to communicate a merged flow of the treated water to an extraction outlet.

Abstract: Technical system (2; 2?), method and uses for dosing of at least one liquid treatment means (12) into injection water (16) to an injection well (22), wherein the technical system (2; 2?) comprises: —an underwater line (14; 14?) for transport of the injection water (16) from a shipment site (20; 48) for the injection water (16); and —at least one liquid-tight storage unit (10) containing the at least one liquid treatment means (12). The distinctive characteristic is that the at least one storage unit (10) is structured as a volumetrically flexible unit; —wherein said storage unit (10) is placed under water (6); and —wherein said storage unit (10) is connected, in a flow-communicating manner, to the underwater line (14; 14?) for dosing of liquid treatment means (12) into the injection water (16) to the injection well (22).

Abstract: A method and a device (2) for destruction of organic material in injection water for an injection well (4), in which a means (10) for introduction of water in the injection well (4), and at least one electrochemical cell (16) with associated operating means are used for in situ electrolytic generation from water of at least short-lived, free hydroxyl radicals. The distinctive characteristic of the invention is that it comprises the following steps: (A) to connect the at least one electrochemical cell (16) to the injection well (4); and (B) by means of said operating means, to conduct the injection water through said cell (16) for in situ generation of at least free hydroxyl radicals from the injection water, insofar as free hydroxyl radicals immediately destruct organic material that they engage in the injection water.

Abstract: A method and device for separating particles from injection water, the injection water being used for the stimulation of a petroleum reservoir. The water is drawn from a water reservoir, cleaned and typically treated by means of additives before being led into the petroleum reservoir. The injection water is first led into a closed space (14), in which the flow rate is sufficiently low for undesired particles to precipitate from the injection water.
