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