Abstract: Methods and systems for utilizing deep ocean water in the cultivation and harvesting of nutrients and CO2 for algae and other valuable aquaculture species for the production of algal biomass and the like. The systems of the present invention include a floating deep water harvesting barge, a containment device, and a storage or pumping device. The containment device may be a closed system, an open system, or a photo-bioreactor. The present invention is also directed to improved methods for drying algae biomass and further downstream applications and uses of the algae biomass.

Abstract: A deep ocean desalination system that uses hydrostatic pressure to reverse osmosis the seawater. The membrane structure is deployed to a predetermined ocean depth and includes a submersible pump system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the utilization of deep ocean seawater in cooling water for offshore process applications. The present invention contemplates extracting deep seawater from regions of the ocean having minimal biological productivity for use as cooling water in offshore operations. In one embodiment, a sea water extraction system according to the invention may include a submersible pump, a pipe and riser, a floating vessel, a transfer pipe, and a cooling water heat exchanger system.

Abstract: An integrated ocean water processing system including a vessel, an electro/hydraulic deployment and retrieval system, a desalination system, a disinfection system, a packaging system, a freezing system capable of freezing the pouches of potable water, a water storage and dissolution system, and a distribution system capable of pumping product drinking water through a buoyant surface hose to other vessels or onshore infrastructure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for cryogenic thermal energy conversion that include the use of a heat engine in the regasification process for cryogenic liquids such that energy is created while regasifying the cryogenic liquid and no additional heat component is required.
