Sea water filtration and desalination requires costly and compatible materials that will not rust or corrode. The harsh environment requires effective and reliable performance.
No, don't take us literally! Humans cannot drink saline water. But, saline water can be made into freshwater, which is the purpose of this portable, inflatable solar still (it even wraps up into a tiny package). The process is called desalination, and it is being used more and more around the world to provide people with needed freshwater.
Desalination technology has been around for the better part of the last century. Many countries, municipalities, armed services and ships have the need to produce fresh water by desalination because of their lack of natural sources of fresh water. Desalination technology has brought freshwater and industrial and commercial development to areas of the world that otherwise might have remained unproductive. Not only has development been enhanced by this technology but, more importantly, the health and welfare of many people have been improved by the supply of sanitary fresh water supplies.
Saline water is desalinized is by the "reverse osmosis" procedure. In most simplistic terms, water, containing dissolved salt molecules, is forced through a semi-permiable membrane (essentially a filter), in which the larger salt molecules do not get through the membrane holes but the smaller water molecules do.
Formally, reverse osmosis is the process of forcing a solvent from a region of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane to a region of low-solute concentration by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure. The largest and most important application of reverse osmosis is the separation of pure water from seawater and brackish waters; seawater or brackish water is pressurized against one surface of the membrane, causing transport of salt-depleted water across the membrane and emergence of potable drinking water from the low-pressure side.

Reverse osmosis is an effective means to desalinate saline water, but it is more expensive than other methods. As prices come down in the future the use of reverse osmosis plants to desalinate large amounts of saline water should become more common.
Jorg Menningmann, president of Water link Pure Water Division has done immense work on the reverse osmosis process for desalination of water.
