Reverse Osmosis is an established technology to produce purified water from any water source, including seawater.

Simply put, the process forces water through a membrane at high pressure. The pores in a reverse osmosis membrane are extremely small, and only water molecules can pass through, leaving all salts behind.
When purifying seawater, approximately 40% of the water pumped through emerges as fresh water and the remainder becomes very high salinity seawater, which is dispersed back into the sea.
