Patent ID: 10479706

Abstract:
An apparatus, system and method to purify water is disclosed. In addition, the apparatus, system and method can effectively discharge the brine effluent. The apparatus can comprise an offshore structure, wherein the offshore structure comprises a water intake device connected to a pre-desalination filters connected to a plurality of reverse osmosis filters in communication with a purified water line and effluent discharge device. A plurality of filters for filtering the water from the intake, filter the water to remove solid contaminates before running the filtered water through the reverse osmosis system to the discharge device and purified water lines. Herein also disclosed is a wastewater discharge system. In an embodiment, the system comprises a control panel that controls, the offshore structure plurality of filters, plurality of reverse osmosis filters, purified water line and effluent discharge device, to achieve favorable water purification. Herein also described is a method that utilizes the apparatus and/or system disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the method comprises: obtaining an offshore structure comprising a water purification system, flowing water into an inlet device, pumping the water through a filtration system, flowing the filtered water through a plurality of reverse osmosis filters; flowing purified water through a purified water line; and flowing discharge effluent through a discharge device.
