Abstract
A method for harvesting energy through pressure retarded osmosis includes identifying and pumping a low salinity feed stream and a high salinity feed stream from upstream water sources to opposite ends of a semi-permeable membrane housing where the low salinity feed stream permeates through the semi-permeable membrane to the high salinity feed stream to pressurize and dilute it. The diluted stream rotates a turbine to generate electricity and produce a depressurized mid-salinity fluid. A system for harvesting energy through pressure retarded osmosis has a first and second upstream water source pumped through low and high salinity feed lines to opposite ends of a semi-permeable membrane housing including a container, a semi-permeable membrane, a low salinity side of the housing, and a high salinity housing. The system also has a low salinity exit line, a pressurized mid-salinity exit line, a turbine, a generator, and a depressurized mid-salinity exit line.
