How does removing water from solution makes more of that solution?
- arkades 8y ago2.5 L of water go in. 1 L freshwater comes out of pipe A. 1.5 L wastewater comes out of pipe B.
- samatman 8y agoFor every 2.5 liters seawater, the products are 1 liter fresh water and 1.5 liters of brine.
- falcor84 8y agoThat's a good point, but I assume what they meant is that to output 1 liter of fresh water, the plant needs to process ~2.5 liters.
- xg15 8y agoI guess, it's more "X gallons of sea water result in Y gallons of drinkable water and Z gallons of brine", where Y=1.0, Z=1.5 and X >= Y + Z.
