Reverse osmosis is one of the processes that makes desalination (or removing salt from seawater) possible. Beyond that, reverse osmosis is used for recycling, wastewater treatment, and can even produce energy.
In the FO process, this is not the case. The membrane separation of the FO process in effect results in a âtradeâ between the solutes of the feed solution and the draw solution. Pressure Retarded Osmosis (PRO) may be used to convert salinity gradient into power.Forward osmosis is not a replacement for reverse osmosis.smotic processes manipulate osmotic pressure gradient between solutions. Osmotic processes include reverse osmosis (RO), forward osmosis (FO) , pressure enhanced osmosis (PEO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO). RO produces clean water, FO produces clean draw, while PRO produces power.
