Desalination is one of the technologies that can address world-wide water issues for both seawater and brackish water treatment, if the inordinate energy requirements of desalination are taken care of. Nrgtek Inc. proposes an alternative technology for a lowcost, portable seawater desalination system, using forward osmosis (FO) to separate water from seawater, in a low-energy, medium temperature and pressure process, using novel organic solutes, called
