desalinization. desalination.
desalting.
However you know it, this technology is critical to society.
At Harmony, we prefer “desalting.” We believe simplest is best.
reverse osmosis (RO)
RO is the state-of-the-art.
The tech is simple: push salty water against a membrane.
Freshwater passes through. The salt is left behind.
the problem
RO hasn’t changed much since it was invented in the 1960s.
“Regular RO” works like an open fire hydrant.
Energy is wasted and the membranes can clog (aka fouling).
batch desalting
We have re-configured RO to operate as a batch process.
It works like an espresso machine.
Precise application of force, directed into useful work.
wait, but why?
The best possible energy-efficiency.
Less brine. Less fouling.
More water.
