Damping Plate Sand Filtration System and Wave Energy Water Desalination System and Methods of Using Potable Water Produced by Wave Energy Desalination
20170129788 · 2017-05-11 ·

A potable water producing system for disposition at a salt water body and methods of producing potable water are provided. The system includes a wave energy conversion system (AWECS) and a portable filtration system. The AWECS forms a floating articulated barge having an onboard desalination system including reverse osmosis membranes. The filtration system is a sand filter residing on a damping plate submerged in the salt water body and filters the adjacent salt water for providing filtered salt water to the onboard desalination system. Wave action on the articulated barge provides energy to pump and pressurize the filtered salt water from the sand filter to the reverse osmosis membranes to produce potable water. The wave action on the articulated barge effects shaking of the reverse osmosis membranes, thereby rendering them self-cleaning. The potable water can be used for various applications, e.g., bottling, replenishing aquifers, ground and/or aquifer remediation, irrigation, etc.

HYBRID INTAKE SCREEN ASSEMBLY

An intake screen assembly including an intake member, a screen support member, and a screen member coupled to the screen support member. The screen member may be formed from a material, such as copper-nickel, that is different from a material, such as stainless steel, used to form the intake member and/or the screen support member. The intake screen assembly may include corrosion protection members for preventing contact between the components of the screen assembly that are formed from dissimilar materials. The assembly may be formed by coupling the screen support member to the intake member, and coupling the screen member to the screen support member.

20250269304 · 2025-08-28 · ·

A non-powered water supply system includes: a raw water supply unit for supplying raw water; a filtration unit including a filtration tank for storing a certain amount of the raw water supplied from the raw water supply unit, a filter assembly installed inside the filtration tank to produce filtered water by filtering out foreign substances from the raw water, and a base frame fixed to the bottom surface of the filtration tank so that the filter assembly can be installed at a certain height above the bottom surface of the filtration tank; and a filtered water storage tank for temporarily storing the filtered water produced in the filtration tank.

Sustainable water utilization and disaster mitigation system
12410590 · 2025-09-09 ·

The present invention is a water collection and storage station system. The system comprises one or more water tanks embedded in terrain such as natural mountains for water containment, storage, and directed outflow without requiring energy-intensive pumping, while also producing electricity. A high-altitude catchment area collects water, which is filtered through zeolite beds before storage. The system includes multiple exits for water distribution, overflow management, and debris removal. Each exit is integrated with hydroelectric generators for electricity production. The system features a heliport for firefighting support, equipped with rapid-fill mechanisms for flexible water buckets, thermal cameras for fire detection, and water cannons for fire suppression. The multifunctional system provides sustainable solutions for water conservation, energy generation, and disaster management.

Floating liquid intake
12589335 · 2026-03-31 · ·

A floating liquid intake for a liquid suction removal system, the liquid intake comprising housing defining an internal cavity. The housing has a hollow and buoyant annular body, an upper cover and a lower cover. The internal cavity is formed between the upper and lower covers. A substantially annular inlet is formed in the annular body for ingress of liquid into the cavity. The annular body has a buoyancy sufficient for the liquid intake to float in a liquid with the annular inlet submerged below the surface of the liquid in which the liquid intake is floating. A pipe extends into the cavity and the pipe includes an inlet that in use is open below the surface of the liquid within the cavity. The pipe extends outside of the cavity for connection to a liquid suction removal system.
