Seawater reverse osmosis systems are meant to eradicate huge quantities of salts

Seawater reverse osmosis systems are meant to eradicate huge quantities of salts and other mineral deposits from seawater. Seawater has a high salinity rate because it is found in areas that experience high evaporation rates mostly in the latitudes of north and south. Therefore, seawater reverse osmosis entails applying high pressure to the water that is contaminated forcing it to pass through semi-porous membranes, which prevents salts and other organics from passing. The main function of the membrane is to remove dissolved solids in the solution with an aim of separating the feed water from purified water. Seawater desalination utilizes minimal energy exploitation corresponding to the osmotic pressure multiplied by the volume of desalinated water. This energy is general and efficient to all desalination technologies that are used in water purification (Cipollina, Micale, & Rizzuti, 2007).
