摘要: Desalination system (500) includes a submersible module (506) defining water- receiving interior and including openings leading from the to an exterior, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes (510) arranged in each opening such that RO membrane is exposed seawater (503) when submersed, pump (507) connection with of (506), movement (512) for adjusting vertical depth at which submersed. The can move horizontal directions, any predetermined pattern, or - planes defined by one location another prevent elevated salt concentration area adjacent thereby maintain osmotic pressure low.
