The mechanical and hydrodynamic architecture of the L’WattOsmose reactor exhibits remarkable functional reversibility. The system can switch from an energy production mode to a continuous dynamic ion filtration mode, capable of making brackish or seawater potable without a static physical membrane barrier.
By simply reversing its flow matrix, the L’WattOsmose energy reactor can be converted, at a marginal industrial cost, into a water purification and desalination unit called WaterOsmose.
