More Information
Summary:An apparatus, system, and method for desalinating water is presented. The invention relates to recovery of water from impaired water sources by using FO and seawater as draw solution (DS). The seawater becomes diluted over time and can be easily desalinated at very low pressures. Thus, a device consumes less energy when recovering water. The apparatus, system and method comprise an immersed forward osmosis cell. L'invention porte sur un appareil, un système et un procédé de dessalement d'eau. L'invention concerne la récupération d'eau de sources d'eau polluée par utilisation d'osmose directe (FO) et d'eau de mer en tant que solution d'extraction (DS). L'eau de mer se dilue au cours du temps et peut être facilement dessalée à de très basses pressions. Ainsi, un dispositif consomme moins d'énergie lors de la récupération d'eau. L'appareil, le système et le procédé comprennent une cellule immergée d'osmose directe.
