C. INTRODUCTION<br />
The Obstacle:<br />
Osmosis is the naturally occurring<br />
diffusion of two miscible (mixable)<br />
solutions through a semipermeable<br />
membrane in such a manner as to<br />
equalize their concentration by<br />
allowing a lessor concentration,<br />
potable water, to naturally diffuse<br />
through a semipermeable<br />
membrane into a higher<br />
concentration, sea or brackish<br />
water.<br />

Manifold<br />
Sea water or brackish water is a high<br />
concentration solution. Potable<br />
water is a low concentration<br />
solution.<br />
Therefore, sea water or brackish<br />
water cannot naturally diffuse<br />
through a semipermeable<br />
membrane to provide potable, or<br />
drinking water.<br />
The HRO Solution:<br />
A manmade process, Reverse<br />
Osmosis, overcomes this natural<br />
phenomenon. By forcing sea or<br />
brackish water (under high pressure)<br />
through a semipermeable<br />
membrane, potable water can be<br />
realized. Reverse Osmosis<br />
Desalination Systems by<br />
HROSystems make possible the once<br />
impossible, potable water from<br />
undrinkable water sources.<br />

Low Pressure: Feed Water (Salt<br />
Water or Brackish Water) enters the<br />
system through an Inlet Valve and is<br />
then filtered by a raw water Sea<br />
Strainer. The pressure of the Feed<br />
water is increased by the Booster<br />
Pump and filtered several more times<br />
through standard and optional<br />
prefiltration units including Media<br />
Filter, Plankton Filter, Prefilter and<br />
Oil Water Separator.<br />
High Pressure: The Stainless Steel<br />
High Pressure Pump then increases<br />
the filtered feed water to a high<br />
pressure level and forces it into the<br />
Reinforced Fiberglass Membrane<br />
Vessel Assembly. The Back Pressure<br />
Regulator controls and automatically<br />
maintains the necessary high<br />
pressure level in the membrane.<br />
Concentrated brine enters the Brine<br />
Water Flow Meter which allows<br />
observation of the condition of the<br />
High Pressure Pump. The Brine<br />
Water is then discharged through the<br />
Brine Discharge Connector and<br />
diverted back to the feed source.<br />
Product Water: The product<br />
water flows out of the R.O.<br />
Membrane and passes into a Salinity<br />
Probe which adjusts automatically<br />
for temperature changes and<br />

the product water. Next, the<br />
Product Flow Meter registers the<br />
amount of potable water being<br />
produced. The product water then<br />
proceeds into the 3-Way Solenoid<br />
Diversion Valve. Here, potable<br />
water is diverted to the Charcoal<br />
Filter where gasses or odors present<br />
are absorbed and removed from the<br />
product water. The final filtration<br />
process occurs in the Ultraviolet<br />
Sterilizer where 99.9% of all<br />
microorganisms, including viruses<br />
and bacteria, are destroyed.<br />
Rinsing and Cleaning: The<br />
3-way valves are provided for<br />
System Rinsing and Cleaning. The<br />
Automatic Fresh Water Flush<br />
System maintains fresh water<br />
within the System during shut<br />
down periods.<br />
Electronics: All electrical<br />
connections terminate at the<br />
Salinity Controller. Highly<br />
advanced, the Salinity Controller<br />
features computer controlled<br />
reliable solid state electronics with<br />
advanced proprietary logic features<br />
found in no other desalination<br />
system. Various Remote Control<br />
units are available for remote<br />
operation of the System.<br />
