15 . A method of desalinating seawater on an apparatus positioned at a location on the surface of a body of seawater, the method comprising the steps of:
intaking seawater from the body of seawater into the apparatus; removing salt from the seawater taken into the apparatus to yield desalinated water and a concentrate; adjusting the temperature of the concentrate so that it is substantially the same as the seawater surrounding the apparatus; and discharging the temperature-adjusted concentrate into the body of seawater.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the step of adjusting the temperature of the concentrate is performed by mixing the concentrate with seawater prior the step of discharging the temperature-adjusted concentrateJoin the waitlist — get patent alerts
