FAQ
Who invented or developed Reverse Osmosis?
The potential of Reverse Osmosis was first realized by research scientist Sourirajin at UCLA in the early 1950’s. The process showed so much promise for desalinating seawater that the U.S. Office of Saline Water funded a long research and development program, involving major American corporations. After 33 million dollars, the process of Reverse Osmosis became a viable technology and is considered the latest and most advanced of water treatment techniques.
