A desalination system that is deployable in a body of water having a surface and a seafloor and which includes a vessel structure that is capable of travel in water, a reverse osmosis system disposed within an internal space of the vessel structure and a tank connected to the reverse osmosis system, the tank configured to receive filtered water from the reverse osmosis system. A positioning system is provided for controlling the travel of the vessel structure, and a ballast system is configured to control the buoyancy of the vessel structure. A controller is operably associated with the positioning system and the ballast system to control the position of the vessel below the surface of the body of water.

A water purification system includes a tank which stores permeate during periods of standby during which impurities can migrate across a filtration membrane, resulting in impure water on the downstream side of the membrane. During an initial portion of a water draw immediately following a period of standby, the impure water on the downstream side of the membrane is used as a motive fluid to force the permeate out of the tank for delivery to the faucet. Permeate is provided on a continuous bases directly from the membrane to the faucet after the tank is depleted of permeate. The system includes a control system and a plurality of valves to recycle the impure water used as a motive fluid to the membrane to produce permeate. At the conclusion of a water draw, the tank is filled with permeate and the system enters a period of standby until the next water draw.

A reverse osmosis system and method of operating the same includes a membrane housing comprising a reverse osmosis membrane therein. The membrane housing has a feed fluid input, a brine outlet and a permeate outlet; The system further includes a charge pump, a plurality of valves and a tank having a volume comprising a movable partition dividing the volume into a first volume and a second volume. The plurality of valves selectively couples the charge pump to the first volume or the second volume and the brine outlet to the second volume or the first volume respectively.

A system for purifying cannabis miscella is provided comprising a feed tank enabled to store the miscealla derived from cannabis extraction, a plurality of optical sensor modules, at least one valve, an ultrafiltration membrane module; and at least one pump. Wherein a closed system enabled to maintain a positive or negative pressure created by the at least one pump, enabling moving a flow of the miscealla through the system, one optical sensor is positioned upstream and downstream from the ultrafiltration membrane, the at least one valve is positioned between ultrafiltration membrane and an outlet, and a level of opening the valve creates different levels of back pressure based on readings from the optical sensors.

Systems and methods used to control tangential flow filtration are provided, including control systems and methods for use with connected systems with upstream processing units, such as chromatography processing units, in fluid communication with a tangential flow filtration processing unit. Also included are control systems and methods for performing continuous concentration using single-pass tangential flow filtration with permeate flow control.

The filter device (10) further comprises a second lid (30) having arranged thereon at least a second fluid port (32). The filter device (10) further comprises a plurality of hollow fibers (40) arranged within the housing (12), wherein each of the plurality of hollow fibers (40) comprises a semi-permeable membrane and defines a fluid channel extending longitudinally through an interior of the respective hollow fiber (40). Also, the filter device (10) comprises a fourth fluid port (50) and a fifth fluid port (52) both provided at the fluid chamber (18).

Apparatus and systems for point of entry water purification using reverse osmosis are provided. Generally, systems include a storage tank for containing purified water, wherein elements of the purification system are attached directly to the storage tank, at its exterior or interior. At the storage tank exterior surface, a mounting plate is attached that contains a sediment filter and a reverse osmosis element. The storage tank interior space contains a mechanical float valve system that uses the amount of purified water within the storage tank to provide a negative feedback system to proportionally control flow of water into the purification system.

A filtration system has a filter element with a filtration membrane, a feed inlet and a concentrate outlet on a first side of the membrane and a permeate outlet on a second side of the membrane. A feed line with a feed shutoff valve is in fluid communication with the feed inlet, and a concentrate return line with a concentrate shutoff valve is in fluid communication with the concentrate outlet. A feed pump is in fluid communication with the feed inlet via the feed line and the feed shutoff valve, and a backwash pump is in fluid communication with the permeate outlet. In a priming phase of a backwash operation, the feed shutoff valve and the concentrate shutoff valve are closed and the backwash supply is operable to deliver fluid to the filtration element and equalize pressure between the first side and the second side of the filtration membrane.
