But, I thought that the recovery rate of the plant will be very low.

Hi Yahia, It would be. One thing this idea has helped me to understand is that under such conditions of vacuum, a normal R.O. system should be much more efficient. There are 3 basic reasons why. The first 2 are that adhesion and cohesion with water molecules should be non-factors. And what might be a great surprise is that under vacuum, water molecules should contract while being more energetic. These last 2 things should let water molecules flow through a membrane much easier. One thing that would need to be changed is that the water would need to be drawn through the membrane and this might be able to happen with a significant savings.
