A reverse osmosis plant is a manufacturing plant where the process of reverse osmosis takes place. Reverse osmosis is a common process to purify or desalinate contaminated water by forcing water through a membrane. Water produced by reverse osmosis may be used for a variety of purposes, including desalination, wastewater treatment ...
RO production train, North Cape Coral Reverse Osmosis Plant. In 1977 Cape Coral, Florida became the first US municipality to use RO at scale, with an initial operating capacity of 11.35 million liters (3 million US gal) per day. By 1985, rapid growth led the city to operate the world's largest low-pressure RO plant, producing 56.8 million ...
The ideal water potential between fresh water (right) and sea water (left) corresponds to a hydraulic head of 270 metres. Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is a technique to separate a solvent (for example, fresh water) from a solution that is more concentrated (e.g. sea water) and also pressurized.
Ras Abu Jarjur is a reverse osmosis water desalination plant in Bahrain. [1] [2] The plant produces 16.3 million imperial gallons of desalinated drinking water per day.[citation needed] At the time of its commissioning in the mid-1980s it was the largest reverse osmosis plant in the Middle East with a production capacity of 10 million imperial gallons per day.

The process has the feature of inherently low fouling because of the forward osmosis first step, unlike conventional reverse osmosis desalination plants where fouling is often a problem. Modern Water has deployed forward osmosis based desalination plants in Gibraltar and Oman.
Although mechanical filtration, such as reverse osmosis, is widely employed to filter contaminants, other technologies including the use of ozone generators, wastewater evaporation, electrodeionization and bioremediation are also able to address the challenges of industrial water treatment.
[15] [17] As of 2014 reverse osmosis (RO) made up about 52% of indirect methods. [21] [22] Pumps push salt water through RO modules at high pressure. [15] [21] RO systems depend on pressure differences. A pressure of 55–65 bar is required to purify seawater. An average of 5 kWh/m 3 of energy is typically required to run a large-scale RO plant ...
