“Is this a new technology that is less expensive?”
Not new, but improved. Reverse osmosis has been continuously improved since its invention in the 1960’s. The main driver of cost are energy inputs and the goal is to reduce the amount of energy required per cubic meter of fresh water produced. Israel has been a world leader in building massive RO plants with the latest and most efficient technologies, and is said to now have an actual water surplus because of this.
Thanks, cnm.
I’ve been intimately involved with RO from original patents through all of the GE acquisitions, and I’m looking for details on these improvements. The article offers nothing meaningful that I can find.
Any links or more info?
Much obliged...
