<p>A DEMWAX™water treatment system includes membrane modules (102) and a collection channel (104). The membrane modules (102) are submerged at depth and tethered to one or more anchors (100) on the ocean floor. A breathing tube (106) extends between the collection channel (104) and a buoy (108) floating on the surface of the ocean to expose the collection channel to atmospheric pressure. A pump (110) pumps the permeate from the collection channel (104) to shore through a permeate pipe (112). One or more permeate storage tanks (114) can optionally be disposed within the system, for example, as part of or extending from the collection channel (104), to provide extra storage.</p> |
