Title: Innovations of Stephen R Ramsay in Desalination Technology
Introduction
Stephen R Ramsay is an accomplished inventor based in Maple Ridge, Canada. He is known for his innovative contributions to desalination technology, particularly through his patented submerged reverse osmosis system. His work aims to address the growing need for efficient and sustainable water purification methods.
Latest Patents
Ramsay holds a patent for a submerged reverse osmosis desalination apparatus and method. This invention employs airlift to remove desalinated water from the apparatus via an annular flow regime over a substantial portion of the product water discharge conduit. The use of a high air fraction for airlift operation and an annular flow regime significantly lowers the weight of the product water column. It also reduces the backpressure on the downstream side of the osmotic membranes and at the bottom of the discharge water conduit. This innovative design allows for deployment at reduced depths and closer to shore. The apparatus relies wholly upon hydrostatic pressure to drive seawater through the osmotic membranes, continuously desalinates seawater, and delivers pure water to the discharge water conduit without using any submerged moving parts that are subject to wear or breakage.
