Reverse Osmosis is meaningless, excessive energy consuming process, using expensive high pressure pumps, expensive membranes, and referring to micro pre-filters. Reverse Osmosis is a process which is enforcing that most of worldwide sea shores are left deserted due to expensive equipment and expensive operation cost.    Reverse osmosis is always coming with false claims of very low energy consumption, which correspond to new membranes, while the truth these false claims of low energy consumption fade away after few days of using the expensive membranes, due to their fouling. The theoretical osmotic pressure for seawater is about 35 atm, while the actual osmotic pressure is 70 atm for new membranes, while after a month of operation the osmotic pressure is beyond 90 atm !!!???    When those who are promoting reverse osmosis discovered they are consuming a lot of energy, they are coming with energy recovery system to use high pressure discarded water to pass through water turbines. This way doubling the expenses of water production.    We are referring to room temperature evaporation, a process which does not consumes any energy, the energy needed to separate pure water is simply obtained from the bulk of seawater body cooling it No external supply of energy. This is the process used by the CREATOR worldwide to generate pure rain water out of seawater, and we are using the same concept in industrial water coolers.   Our equipment is very simple (please visit our website naturalseawaterdesalination.com), as the process occurs at room temperature then the material used is mostly plastics, and our equipment are less than half the price of reverse osmosis.
