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 ...
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 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.

In contrast, the reverse osmosis process uses hydraulic pressure as the driving force for separation, which serves to counteract the osmotic pressure gradient that would otherwise favor water flux from the permeate to the feed. Hence significantly more energy is required for reverse osmosis compared to forward osmosis.
