In this application a high-osmolarity draw solution, such as brine or seawater (right; seawater from Øresund, the green particles are algae) -- combined with the 1st generation Aquaporin Inside™ membrane - is used to up-concentrate contaminated waste water (left; brown liquid = model waste water) in a forward osmosis process.
The end result is up-concentrated waste water and diluted brine/seawater. The advantage of this process is that diluted brine/seawater can be discharged without further
