TL;DR: In this paper, a vessel includes a water intake system, reverse osmosis system, concentrate discharge system, a permeate transfer system, power source, and a control system.
Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for desalinating water are provided. A vessel includes a water intake system, a reverse osmosis system, a concentrate discharge system, a permeate transfer system, a power source, and a control system. The concentrate discharge system includes a plurality of concentrate discharge ports.

TL;DR: A review of the developments in the field of nitrate removal processes which can be effectively used for denitrifying ground water as well as industrial water can be found in this paper.
Abstract: Nitrate contamination of ground water resources has increased in Asia, Europe, United States, and various other parts of the world This trend has raised concern as nitrates cause methemoglobinemia and cancer Several treatment processes can remove nitrates from water with varying degrees of efficiency, cost, and ease of operation Available technical data, experience, and economics indicate that biological denitrification is more acceptable for nitrate removal than reverse osmosis and ion exchange This paper reviews the developments in the field of nitrate removal processes which can be effectively used for denitrifying ground water as well as industrial water
