A method for filtering seawater onboard a ship involves pumping seawater into a filtration device so that the seawater is introduced into the filtration device at an inlet pressure, flows in the filtration device through a filter element, and after the filter element as filtered seawater has an outlet pressure. A concentrate phase or concentrate removed using the cleaning device at the filter element of the filtration device is carried away from the filter element and has a concentrate pressure. The inlet pressure, the outlet pressure, and the concentrate pressure are measured. A change in filter efficiency of the filter element is recognized by determining a change in a contamination pressure difference between the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure and/or a suction pressure difference defined as the difference between the outlet pressure and the concentrate pressure is controlled depending on the contamination pressure difference.

An apparatus for treating water in a reservoir includes a funnel. A support assembly supports the funnel in a lengthwise upright orientation when the funnel is submerged. A water moving arrangement is arranged to move water through the funnel in a direction from an inlet at an upper end of the funnel towards an outlet at lower end of the funnel.

A filtration system is provided. The system provides a first filtration loop that provides one or more passes through a first filter using a first pump and a second filtration loop that provides one or more passes through a second filter using a second pump. The combination of a first pump and a second pump, each with a filter and each running independently of engine speed, provides an effective means of cleaning fuel.
