Desalination uses reverse osmosis technology to separate water molecules from seawater. Water from the ocean is forced through thousands of tightly-wrapped, semipermeable membranes under very high pressure. The membranes allow the smaller water molecules to pass through, leaving salt and other impurities behind.

The water is pushed at high pressure (60bar) through the semi-permeable membranes, which act as a filter for the salt and minerals and only allow fresh water to pass through.

The equipment used in this process can be powered from solar power which can be sized according to the capacity required. This provides alternative source of water to the communities and agriculture along the coastlines.
