Desalination Technologies
Pressure-driven membrane separation of salts from water.
Reverse osmosis in its seawater, brackish and multi-pass configurations. This is the most heavily engineered part of the platform, and the only route into the Plant Designer.

RO applied to seawater: high feed salinity, single-pass configuration, and a recovery limited by osmotic pressure and scaling rather than by membrane rejection.
