摘要

A DEMWAX(TM) water treatment system includes membrane modules and a collection channel. The membrane modules are submerged at depth and tethered to one or more anchors on the ocean floor. A breathing tube extends between the collection channel and a buoy floating on the surface of the ocean to expose the collection channel to atmospheric pressure. A pump pumps the permeate from the collection channel to shore through a permeate pipe. One or more permeate storage tanks can optionally be disposed within the system, for example, as part of or extending from the collection channel, to provide extra storage.
