Here at IT-Harvest Global Headquarters we have installed a new technology: reverse osmosis water filtering.
It would also greatly reduce energy costs, since reverse osmosis involves forcing water through filters to remove minerals, and the Perforene filter is so thin that much less pressure is required (graphene is a thousand times stronger than steel).
Ocean water pours through a series of pipes into rows of reverse osmosis filters which purify the water.
Maybe it's just because it is all so new, but the idea of using, say, reverse osmosis filters to remove water molecules and artificially concentrate wine from a rainy vintage makes wine production sound less like agriculture and more like the Rise of the Machines.
For every two gallons of water the plant takes in, its reverse osmosis process will make one gallon of fresh water and send back to the ocean one gallon with twice the salinity level.
Although primarily produced for industrial use, the water is purified to drinking-quality using dual membrane microfiltration and reverse osmosis technologies, and marketed as bottled water for human consumption under the consumer brand NEWater.
His company's solution is to incorporate super-hydrophilic (i.e. water-loving) nanoparticles into a reverse osmosis membrane.
Desalination removes salt by forcing water against a membrane to remove salts via reverse osmosis.
Mechanical systems like skimmers, centrifuges, and reverse osmosis machines can go a long way towards separating oil from water.

The device has advantages in removing problematic salts, said CEO Pat Curran, and can clean water at up to 75 percent less cost than systems such as reverse osmosis and brine concentrators.
