Seafaring Solution for Regional Water Supplies
This article presents the Seawater Conversion Vessel (SCV), an ocean‐going ship that houses a self‐contained seawater desalination plant. The SCV includes a multi‐depth intake line and pump station to draw water from the sea; microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and posttreatment systems to convert the seawater to potable water; a sophisticated mixing and dispersion system to properly dispose of the brine; and a variety of means by which the potable water can be transported to shore. The article discusses the advantages of the SCV over land‐based desalination facilities, minimizing impingement and entrainment effects, cleaning and discharging the brine, use of a tug barge to deliver desalinated water to the shore in highly sensitive shoreline areas, and coastal and global interest in the SCV.
