Dear Fluence,     It is great you keep advertising about your product of containerized reverse osmosis units. However you need to realize that reverse osmosis is a huge nuisance from every perspective.       Reverse Osmosis is one of the most excessive energy consuming process, using expensive high pressure pumps, expensive membranes, and helplessly referring to micro pre-filters. Reverse Osmosis is  enforcing that most of worldwide sea shores are left deserted due to the expensive equipment, operation and maintenance costs.    Reverse osmosis is always coming with false claims of very low energy consumption, which correspond to a new membrane, all 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 !!!???   Room Temperature Evaporation is a precious process and it is right in front of every eye. Room temperature evaporation does not consumes any energy, the energy needed to vaporize water is simply obtained from the bulk of water body cooling it. This is the process used by the CREATOR to generate pure rain water out of seawater, which is filling all the rivers of our planet.    Probably you might be interested to visit our website naturalseawaterdesalination.com
