This sounds pretty awesome, recycling the waterwaste in a sort of feedback loop resulting in drinking water and power.

I am kind of curious on how much you can/should optimize this process until it becomes dangerous or unmaintainable. And can we do this on more places on this planet? For instance somewhere on a desert coast or something? Could be cool to build some of those between Sahara desert and the ocean, combined with solar panels or something.



The amount of power consumed by the desalination process >> the amount of power produced by the osmosis power plant

It is more like it slightly reduces the power required to run the desalination process
