DSRO: Explained

     The city of Adaloquo uses the innovative Deep Sea Reverse Osmosis (DRSO) to create unlimited potable water out of the World's greatest untapped water resource, the Pacific Ocean.

  1. The seawater goes through a particle filter that takes out large particles such as sand and rock.

  2. To continue the pre-filtration process, the water then goes through a carbon filter, removing toxins such as chloride, copper, and pesticides.

  3. Finally, the water passes through semi-permeable membranes, which has tiny pores allowing only water through to pass and stopping larger molecules such as salt, chlorine, lead, and other pollutants.

The water is pushed through the system by the 800-900 psi hydrostatic water pressures over 1800 feet down on the seafloor. The process requires at least 20 atmospheres(~300 psi) of pressure. The system runs at 800 to 900 psi for efficiency purposes. This pressure difference also allows for the water pumping all the way up till about 200 meters below sea level. This is where the difference in osmotic pressure is not sufficient to perform reverse osmosis.
